    uniE621 Oliver's Travels Campaign
    To support the launch of the new film, I developed a series of adaptable designs tailored for a range of communication platforms. The black grid provided a flexible framework, allowing each format to maintain a consistent and cohesive visual identity. Every image was carefully composed to align with the film’s narrative, highlighting the broader message - the unique value and experience of an Oliver’s Travels holiday.
    uniE621 Lexus SHU HA RI Certificate design
    In Japanese culture, SHU HA RI represents the stages of mastery, a philosophy of craftsmanship that spans centuries of tradition. As Lexus is deeply rooted in Japanese culture, it was only natural for the company to adopt the SHU HA RI philosophy in its internal training programs, guiding staff toward mastery in their craft. To celebrate this journey, I designed a series of awards crafted from bamboo and fitted with silver pins representing each level. Alongside a certificate, each participant receives a silver pin to signify their progress. The pins are intentionally small - a subtle reminder that true achievement is measured not by external recognition, but by personal growth and dedication. The project required close collaboration with woodworkers, silversmiths, jewellery designers, and specialist paint finishers to achieve the level of craftsmanship that met the client’s expectations. graphicdesigner branding logo designer illustrator
    uniE608 Orange Baby brand launch
    Orange Baby is a charity being established to support mothers living with HIV and their children. The organization focuses on raising funds through donations and the sale of OB-branded products for newborns. The project encompasses the development of a strong brand identity and cohesive house style for the OB product range, as well as a comprehensive social media strategy to launch the charity - targeting both potential customers and the business sponsors. I designed a branded range of newborn products and accessories, supported by a cohesive social media strategy with tailored assets for multiple formats. In addition, I developed a launch campaign that celebrated and communicated the charity’s core values and mission. The charity is still waiting to launch fully once a new sponsorship deal has been agreed.
