I'm a passionate designer with a love of graphic ephemera, visual culture and storytelling. I hope to go into the world of Graphic Design for Film & Television. I also love strawberry lemonade.

“I think it would be interesting if graphic design could look at itself in relation to music rather than architecture and industrial design. Then we wouldn’t have to talk about problem-solving, and we could talk about resonance instead.”

Wood, L & Valentine, J (2006) in Triggs (2009)

Travelling Companion:

Bruce Springsteen’s stories have played a key influential role in my life since I was born. My Dad has been a die-hard fan since he was a teenager, so it was pretty unavoidable. ‘Travelling Companion’ takes Springsteen’s musical thesis and materialises it into graphic props that reflect a diegesis for characters in the chosen songs. The zine component illustrates my connection with these stories through conversations with my dad.


Growing Pines

Growing Pines is a new approach to mental well-being. Many young people struggle to get the help they need, as they lack connection and are often intimidated by the reality of the mental wellbeing systems available to them. I wanted the brand to feel approachable and non-clinical, to make supporting your wellbeing no harder than toasting a marshmallow. The camp-themed brand plays on real experiences and effects of anxiety and depression, with an irreverent tone of voice, non-invasive tasks and achievement system.


Krafterparty

Krafterparty is an immersive campaign marketing Kraft Mac and Cheese to a young adult audience. This project was in response to the D&AD 2024 Kraft Mac and Cheese brief, which sought to prove that KMC is not just for kids. This project was done in collaboration with Imogen Gray!


Study Abroad

I was incredibly fortunate to study abroad at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor from 2022-2023. This experience was not only invaluable but incredibly healing. I took part in many creative projects during my time at Michigan: student films, theatrical productions, student newspapers and art history essays galore. Go Blue!
