    Working with an array of clients from independent start-ups to businesses looking for re-brands, the past eight years has given me the opportunity to work on a ton of logos for some great companies.

    paper EatSpainDrinkSpain

    Client: Sopexa
    Agency: The Color Company
    Year: 2022

    The ‘Eat Spain Drink Spain’ campaign was an exciting opportunity to showcase Spanish cuisine globally. Sopexa required me to create captivating artworks across billboards, posters, recipe cards and digital ads. We began with thorough research into Spain’s culinary diversity and cultural significance to inform our artwork concepts, designed to entice audiences into exploring the country’s culinary wonders.

    Each piece aims to capture the essence of Spanish cuisine. Bold typography and captivating imagery invite viewers to delve into Spain’s culinary delights. Recipe cards offer practical guidance for recreating authentic Spanish dishes, while digital ads leverage dynamic visuals to engage audiences and drive participation.

    Throughout the process, collaboration and refinement are key. Working close with Sopexa to fine-tune the artwork, ensuring it aligns seamlessly with the campaign’s goals and branding standards.

    Year: 2023

    Salma Kitchen is a Mexican street food pop-up specialising in slow-roasted meats with a focus on traditional dishes prepared with authentic flavours and techniques.

    I was tasked with creating a brand concept for the Mexican restaurant. The client required a brand package including a logo, brand assets, patterns and social media designs to effectively capture the essence of their restaurant and provide ample collateral for the brand to start to grow.

    paper The Irish Post

    Client: The Irish Post
    Year: 2023

    I worked as the production manager for The Irish Post for just over sixteen months and continue to work with them on a freelance basis. In my role with The Irish Post I took on the responsibility of creating a diverse range of print materials, spanning from the weekly newspaper to special supplements and social media artwork.

    Working with the editorial and advertising teams, I ensured that the design process aligned seamlessly with the content requirements and maintained a consistent visual identity that aligned with The Irish Post brand. When managing the production process, I handled tasks such as artwork preparation, proofreading, colour profiles and final output.

    In my capacity as a graphic designer for The Irish Post, I created a dedicated website for The Irish Post Awards. The WordPress website served as a comprehensive hub, offering attendees the convenience to purchase tickets, submit voting slips and access all up-to-date information related to the awards ceremony. My focus was on designing a user-friendly interface that presented a visually appealing representation of The Irish Post Awards.
