Projects

1. Cycle Sips

An accessible smoothie brand designed to support and educate people through the four phases of the menstrual cycle.

I developed the brand identity and packaging for each smoothie, with each one tailored to a specific phase. The visual direction was informed by lots of research into the hormonal shifts throughout the cycle, using the hormone chart as a key influence in the design decisions, including the colour pallette being tailored to each phase and the logo embodying the risises and falls. My goal for this brand was to make learning about the menstrual cycle less intimidating and to encourange everyone, but particularly those that experience it an easier and more enjoyable experience.

2. Think + Make

A one week design sprint to deep dive into a research area and make an artefact in response it. This was a brief set to get us thinking about our dissertation subjects.

I chose the study made showing metals and chemicals in menstrual products and how under researched this area is and the effects this can have on people that use them, along with the environment. I decided to make a series of posters and a mini zine in a clear and bold way to highlight these issues and side effects they can cause. Along with this, the artefact I made was clear test tubes mimicking the metals and chemicals found in these products to highlight the dangers.

3. Footprint

Footprint is a postcard series designed to encourage and inspire travel, particularly for those from disadvantaged/lower income backgrounds.

I interviewed individuals who have travelled despite financial barriers, collecting their stories, insights, advice and imigary. Each interview was then turned into a personalised postcard set. To tie the series together, I created a visual identity using physical shoe prints from each person, forming a stamp like mark that symbolises them. Each series was given its own colour palette to reflect the personality and journey of the individual and to help visually separate the stories. I chose postcards as they carry the potential to be collected or passed on, allowing each story to continue its journey and inspire someone new.

4. SAS X Clipper

As a design exercise, I chose two brands that wouldn’t typically collaborate and created a product that brought them together. I picked Clipper Tea and Surfers Against Sewage, two brands I personally admire, and developed a limited edition tea called Ocean Infusion. The tea features ocean inspired flavours, with proceeds supporting Surfers Against Sewage and their work to keep oceans clean. I collected different types of seaweed from the beach to incorporate into the design, tying it closely to the concept.

This was a fun and engaging project that helped me develop my skills in working with existing brand elements, while also encouraging me to think about how the product could exist in a real world context.

5. CHKPA

CHKPA is a bold, flavour-led hummus brand developed in response to a one-week creative brief from Brief Club. The aim was to create a full visual identity in a short timeframe — including tone of voice, packaging, and campaign concepts.

The brand challenges the idea that hummus is bland or forgettable, using clean layouts, vibrant colour, and playful copy to bring each flavour to life.

6. Routed

Routed is a zero food waste cafe concept developed in response to a brief focused on tackling food waste through branding and design.

It’s built around the idea of giving surplus and overlooked ingredients a second life by turning them into something new. Sustainability runs through every part of the brand, from repurposing food scraps in the kitchen to composting and growing produce in its own garden. A key part of the concept is encouraging customers to bring in their own food waste, which is weighed and rewarded with loyalty stamps that count towards a free meal. This waste then becomes part of the cafe’s cycle, used for compost or to grow ingredients. I developed the brand identity and concept, using real food waste to create hand stamped visuals.

7. Checkpoint

Checkpoint was developed during a one week design sprint as a platform that encourages people to pause and appreciate the small moments in their day. It aims to support mental wellbeing in a playful and light hearted way, helping to boost positivity through everyday reflection and mindful check ins.
