PROJECT 01

CRESSEX EMBROIDERY AND PRINT - DIGITAL MARKETING AND VISUAL ASSETS

TOOLS: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, mailchimp

Cressex Embroidery wanted a direct email marketing system in place for new and existing customers. The task involved designing a series of campaigns which highlight the various types of industries and services they provide for. Despite having a large range of choice there was a challenge of delivering this information to their customers. A series of fifteen direct email campaigns were designed through Mail Chimp and social media post designs were made to communicate their extensive services.

Mock social media assets and banners were also created alongside the direct email marketing project. This included moving gif images which highlighted a focus topic for each style and process specialised at Cressex Embroidery. To ensure information was clear and easily recognisable emphasis on the logo and visibility was taken into account.


PROJECT 02

EVENT BRANDING –WEDDING STATIONARY AND PRINT DESIGN

TOOLS: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe InDesign

Every design element was tailored to reflect the tone, personality, and visual identity of a very personal event — from colour palettes and fonts to the tactile details of print and materials. Emphasis on creating a warm, welcoming atmosphere through design was considered, ensuring each guest could remember the event clearly and fondly. This project was an opportunity to bring together illustration, layout, and print design in a deeply meaningful and joyful experience.

Designed and produced a full suite of bespoke stationery for a wedding celebration event, including invitations, signage and custom guest badges. The project focused on cohesive visual storytelling, refined typography, and high-quality print layout across both digital and physical formats. This work combined personal creative direction with practical event needs, resulting in a memorable and visually effective experience for guests.


PROJECT 03

GRADUATE FINE ART WORK - "THE PORTAL" (2021)

TOOLS: Edited using Premier Pro

Graduate Fine Art Work - "The Portal" (2021). Project planning, ceramic Sculpture & Video Documentation.

A practice-based visual art investigation Of "How Portals In Art Create A Connection To The 'Beyond'." This project reimagined and defined the idea of passing through the threshold using the methods of traditional ceramic and contemporary art installation practices to create a connection to the beyond and included a process of documentation and reflection.


PROJECT 04

ILLUSTRATIVE WORKS - PLAYFUL DESIGN & PERSONAL VISUAL EXPRESSION

TOOLS: Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Indesign, Procreate

This project presents a small collection of self-directed works that explore my personal visual language across print, illustration, and design.

Each example demonstrates how I approach branding and storytelling with consistency, clarity, and emotional connection.
