As part of the Channels Marketing team at Riviera Travel, I deliver high-volume print and digital creative for newspapers, magazines, and travel agent partners in a fast-paced commercial environment. I work autonomously from brief through to press-ready artwork, regularly meeting turnaround times as short as 15–60 minutes while maintaining rigorous brand consistency across B2B and B2C materials. I partner closely with internal teams to prioritise urgent requests and I’m relied upon to deliver accurate, high-quality artwork under sustained deadline pressure.
As part of my BA Graphic Design dregree, we had to redesign the cover for Skellig by David Almond. Aimed at 9-12 year olds, Skellig is a fiction that explores complex emotions ithrough a lens of wonder and hope. I used Procreate and a risograph printer to design vibrant bugs that felt both eye-catching on a bookshelf and subtly unsettling, mirroring Skellig’s own mix of intrigue and unease.
‘Fibres’ brand identity
As part of my BA Graphic Design final project, I developed a concept for Fibres, a high-fashion brand exploring the use of mycelium-based fabrics. The brand embraces inclusivity and connectivity, inspired by the natural growth patterns of mycelium, and aims to promote sustainable, conscious fashion that inspires unity. I created a logotype, brand guidelines, social identity as well as a fabric sample and packaging to merge my love for hands-on and digital design.
