I would like to acknowledge the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people of the Kulin nation who are the traditional custodians of this land on which I live, love, work, and play. I pay my respects to their Elders, past, present, and emerging, and deeply honour their continuing connection to land, waters, and cultures.

Providing the logo and imagery, IM ME Studios commissioned me to design their website using Squarespace. The website is sleek and intentionally simple, to let the bags speak for themselves and allow for easeful navigation throughout the site. The typefaces selected both echo and compliment the logo (designed by Regi Studio). A simple colour palette of black and a light grey was chosen so as to not distract away from the products being sold, whilst creating a cohesive brand aesthetic.

Big Martech
Big Martech required a logo, style guide and cover art for their new podcast series. Having not heard of ‘martech’ before I undertook some research and realised just how big the industry is. Thus, the word ‘Big’ has been emphasised in its stretched, three-dimensional form, that comes together with ‘Martech’ to create a package/box shape. This correlates to the martech industry where you often buy software ‘packages’. The colour palette is inspired by the tech aesthetic with the neon lime green contrasting with a cobalt blue and emphasised by two different tones of grey as well as black. The accompanying typefaces complement the bold logo, creating a coherent brand. A website is currently being built in accordance to the style guide I designed, whilst the podcast has begun both in audio and video form on Spotify and Youtube.
Fashion Act Now (volunteer)
Since August of 2021 I have been volunteering as a graphic designer/content creator for the activist group Fashion Act Now. “Fashion Act Now is on a mission to bring the concepts of defashion and post-fashion, which encompass commoning and degrowth, into the mainstream discourse.” Together they coined the provocative term ‘defashion,’ which describes the role that Fashion must urgently play in degrowth in the face of climate and ecological emergency. My role is to help design captivating digital content for all their social channels to drive engagement and action.
Six Walls Studio is a new interior design business based in the UK. I was tasked with designing their logo and website, along with a style guide to ensure consistency across all aspects of the brand. The logo plays with 3D and 2D space, giving the effect of looking through a peephole into the interiors of a home. The graphics are paired back and minimalist, so as to not allude to a certain aesthetic or style which could restrict the target audience. Using IONOS to build the website, I crafted a simplistic layout that is easily navigatable, with organic shapes and soft lines featured throughout to mimic the circular nature of the logo.
