GradX—TU Dublin Graduate Exhibition Identity

The identity design aims to create a visual representation of the multifaceted nature of the exhibition, highlighting the broad range of ideas, perspectives, and creative expressions that emerge from the participating graduating courses.

What Does it All Meme? Publication

Museums and archives aim to protect and display material that is culturally important to the public. Memes however that are shared by millions of people every day, are not, making them at risk of being lost. This publication aims to question who decides what is and isn’t valuable. The design is informed by the playful irreverence of memes and the juxtaposition of the orderly and careful approach of museums. The typeface choices mirror the visual style of memes that often have a humorous design approach with clashing and jarring type combinations, or awkward crops.

Agriturismo Walden Brand Identity

The Agriturismo Walden brand identity aims to capture the authentic charm and warm hospitality of the Italian agriturismo nestled in the picturesque landscapes of rural Umbria Italy. The client sought a brand identity that conveyed a personal touch, reflecting the genuine experiences it offers to its visitors. Hand-drawn illustrations serve as the cornerstone of the visual identity, offering a unique and personal touch to every element.

Illustration

Illustration serves as a fulfilling hobby for me, frequently intertwining with my design work, adapting to the demands of each project. My passion extends to both traditional and digital mediums, finding joy and creative expression in both. My illustrative style stems from the pen drawings I do day to day in my sketchbook.
