My graphic design practice centres around pairing unexpected strategies with carefully-crafted, multi-media identities, underpinned by a love for typography and print. I love to experiment, collaborate and play in order to push ideas and concepts into exciting territories. Using this methodology, my work often explores themes of community, social impact and sustainability — including in my dissertation: Rubbish Design, which questions the wastefulness of graphic design ephemera.

The work I’ve made during my time at Kingston has seen me specifically hone my typographic craft, both as a type designer and typographer. Thus, I am now a proud member of the International Society of Typographic Designers (ISTD), following my successful submission to their 2021 student assessment with the book design project Intertitle. I have also been a recipient of a Gold Creative Conscience Award (2020) for my second year project BioIndex, and a winner of D&AD New Blood’s 2021 Portfolio Picks competition, showcasing the work of selected ‘graduates to watch’.

While studying at Kingston, I’ve produced work for a number of exhibitions, including William Morris: Wallpaper Man with The Storybox Collective, a group of Kingston students and alumni. I also collaborated in a team of Kingston students to design the identity for an exhibition of Kingston Graphic Designers’ charity work with Amnesty International and SPEAR London.

To me, graphic design is the art of problem solving. My design outcomes are therefore not determined by any ‘go to’ formats or styles, but instead aim to discover and respond to the pivotal needs of a problem through thorough research and experimentation.
