    uniE621 Baakhynai
    Baakhynai is a typeface project that celebrates the Sakha (a vast region in northeastern Siberia, Russia) language and identity while highlighting the erasure of Indigenous cultures in Russia. The project was presented at the GradX exhibition, ATypI conference in Copenhagen and TU Dublin Research Symposium 2025. The project consists of a type prototype, a printed type specimen and a digital type specimen presented. For the project’s promotion I developed a short video demonstrating versatility of the typeface, the visuals of which were accompanied by traditional Sakha music. Inspired by Sakha literature, especially my grandfather’s poetry book, it is both a practical tool and a tribute, sparking dialogue around Indigenous rights, language preservation, and cultural resilience. graphicdesigner designer…
    uniE621 The First Game
    I designed a poster for The First Game, a short documentary film directed by Naoise Hallissey. The film traced the journey of the Republic of Ireland women’s national football team, from its beginnings in 1973 to its place in the 2023 World Cup, marking 50 years since the team’s foundation. Told through the perspective of former international player and manager Linda Gorman, it explored the challenges faced by the women who fought to play the sport they loved. The First Game was screened at festivals across Ireland, including IndieCork (2024), Kerry International Film Festival (2024), Waterford International Film Festival (2024, finalist), and Fastnet Film Festival (2025). graphicdesigner designer…
    uniE621 The Bikeman
    I designed a poster for De Fietsenman (eng. The Bikeman), a documentary directed and produced by Naoise Hallissey and Amy McAuliffe. The film delved into the hidden world of cycling culture in the Netherlands, following H, a bike thief in Amsterdam, and Guus, an ex-cop combating bike theft through his organisation S.A.F.E. Their parallel lives reveal the complexities of the issue. De Fietsenman won the SVJ Grand Prize for Best Production of 2023 at HU University of Applied Sciences Utrecht and was nominated for the Impact Award at the CampusDoc International Film Festival, 2023. graphicdesigner designer…
    uniE621 World Impact Centre Pamphlet
    While working as the social media designer for Impact Investing Solutions, I independently designed the campaign brochure for their World Impact Centre initiative under a tight deadline and without additional assistance. The design was created to fully align with the company’s visual identity and brought tangible clarity to the campaign. It communicated WIC’s mission, highlighting the social and environmental impact, and attractive returns. The brochure was presented at various international forums and business conferences, many of them dedicated to environmental impact and technology, extending its reach. graphicdesigner designer…
    uniE621 Homes Not Hazards: 'There's something about these flats'
    During summer 2025, I collaborated with Angie Hogan on the design of pamphlets and posters for the photo exhibition Homes Not Hazards: There’s something about these flats, held in Tailors’ Hall. The exhibition featured photographs and interviews with tenants in Coolock and Dublin 8, exploring the connections between the housing crisis and the climate crisis. The project was hosted by CATU Ireland, Friends of Earth Ireland, and the Just Housing research project at Maynooth University. Many thanks to Dr. Patrick Bresnihan, Fiadh Tubridy, and Clare Bell for the opportunity to contribute to such an important initiative. graphicdesigner designer…
