Industry Experience

    paper Emotion in Art & Design

    Emotion in Art & Design is a series of seven large scale acrylic self portraits, each representing a core universal emotion.

    The project investigates how visual language can communicate feeling through colour, composition and mark making. By keeping the face consistent across each piece, the work isolates emotion as the primary variable, allowing shifts in palette, texture and distortion to define each response.

    From subdued and controlled to aggressive and overwhelming, the series explores the psychological impact of art and how viewers instinctively recognise emotion through visual cues.

    paper Malspiel Dossier – Editorial Layout Refinement

    Finalisation of a 30 page educational dossier for ACACA. The visual identity, typography and content were already established, and my role focused on refining the layout, improving hierarchy and ensuring consistency across the document.

    This included aligning text blocks, standardising spacing, correcting micro typography and applying the bubble-outline system consistently throughout. The title pages were also reworked to better structure the content within the existing design language.

    The project was completed in German, requiring careful communication and strong visual judgement despite the language barrier.

    paper Epitome of Five Description

    Epitome of Five is a painting series exploring emotion, identity and human expression through portraiture.

    Each work focuses on the face as a central point of intensity, using colour, distortion and layered mark-making to communicate internal states rather than physical likeness. The series moves beyond realism, instead using expressive techniques to capture tension, vulnerability and psychological depth.

    The paintings combine controlled structure with more instinctive gestures, allowing each piece to sit between representation and abstraction. This balance creates a sense of unease and ambiguity, encouraging the viewer to engage with the emotional presence of the subject rather than a fixed narrative.

    The project reflects an ongoing interest in how visual language can be used to represent complex emotional experiences, forming a foundation for later work exploring the psychology of art.

    paper Chew Your Flow

    Chew Your Flow is an end-to-end campaign developed for the D&AD New Blood brief, repositioning Orbit Extra as a tool for wellness and creativity among Gen Z.

    Rather than relying on conventional wellness imagery, the campaign builds cultural associations with movement, rhythm and self expression. It connects the product to activities such as skating and cycling, framing chewing gum as part of an active and creative lifestyle.

    The campaign was developed across multiple touchpoints including posters, a social-first advert, and a conceptual live event. Additional elements such as a curated playlist extend the brand into everyday experiences, creating a cohesive and immersive campaign ecosystem.

    paper Fishy Business

    Fishy Business is a collaborative exhibition project developed in response to a successful open call, exploring the decline of traditional fish and chip shops in the UK.

    The project combines design, research and storytelling to examine the cultural and economic pressures facing independent businesses. Through an immersive installation, the work brings together photography, film, painting and editorial design to create a layered and engaging experience.

    A central outcome was a custom-designed newspaper that presents interviews, data and visual documentation in a tactile and accessible format. This publication extends the exhibition beyond the space itself, allowing audiences to engage with the project in a more personal and lasting way.

    paper Country Dog Walking and Training

    Country Dog Walking and Training is a full brand identity and digital design project developed for a local business requiring a professional yet approachable presence.

    The brief called for a cohesive identity that would communicate trust, warmth and reliability across both print and digital platforms. I designed a complete brand system including logo, typography and colour palette, ensuring consistency across marketing materials and customer touchpoints.

    Alongside the identity, I designed and built a responsive single-page website that clearly presents services, pricing and availability. The site prioritises usability and strong calls to action, guiding users towards enquiries and bookings while maintaining a clear and engaging visual style.
