A SELECTION OF WORK FROM MY WINNING Drapers Fashion Publication Award ‘Tits Up’ was my final year project at university that won me the Drapers Fashion Publication Award. It was a publication that focused on the normalisation of taboo topics centred around female issues.
Skinny Dip design internship
During my internship at Skinny Dip I designed their novelty sunglasses collection and mocked up 3D packaging to be sent to suppliers. I created posters, stickers and tags that would be placed in store and mock-ups of make-up bags that would be used as templates for product ranges.
PRODUCT DESIGNS FOR TOPSHOP I designed ranges for Skinny Dips’ external clients such as Topshop, Forever 21 and many more. I was sent over a brief and asked to create designs that aligned with their brand aesthetic.
PRODUCT DESIGNS FOR FOREVER 21 I created all elements of the design, placed them into pattern forms and then onto product mock-ups. This gave the client an idea of scale and how the prints would be applied.
LUSH digital marketing Project
This project asked me to research a brand and create a digital marketing campaign to elevate a product that lacks focus. I created a short video that promoted their lipstick collection that followed their brand essence, values and aesthetic.
DESIGN AND ILLUSTRATION FOR BOOK: ISLA GRACE I illustrated a children's book written by Colette Wiggin. I was sent an image of her daughter who the main character was based on, the backstory to the book and the text. I was asked to make the images bright, fun and reflective of the message within the story.
MISSGUIDED digital marketing PROJECT
I directed a short fashion film to promote the new collection by Missguided. In analysed their current moving image content, styling, models and location. I was able to create a video that aligned with the brands values and aesthetic.
