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.

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.

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.
