I am Holly Paine, a 2024 Graphic Design graduate from Oxford Brookes University, based in Portsmouth and Oxford. I am passionate about using visual communication to give a voice to those who cannot speak out or those who are often overlooked in the design world, ensuring that design serves a greater purpose beyond aesthetics. Sustainability and ethics are at the heart of my creative approach. I often work with recycled and repurposed materials to highlight social and environmental issues through my designs. My work is heavily influenced by Slash Magazine and my experiences growing up with a blind parent and collaborating with charities, which have shaped my commitment to accessibility in design. I focus on tactile elements, layered textures, and inclusive visual communication, with interests in editorial design, social media branding, packaging, and merchandise. I’m constantly pushing boundaries to create work that resonates with diverse audiences and aligns with ethical, purpose-driven design.
