Book Cover Illustration
June 2024- August 2024
In the summer of 2024, I was commissioned to illustrate the front cover of mountain instructor Mike Raine's latest book: 'Riding my Bike, a bikepacker's tales from the trails'. We decided to keep the design minimal, with a focus on the bike silhouette and the border of wild flowers. The border features plants and flowers mentioned in the book, with the red kite also representing the wildlife Mike writes about.
Brand creation & logo design (Hypothetical)
February 2024- May 2024
During my second year at The University of Leeds, I enrolled in a Design for Sustainability Module which involved designing and creating a product to design for a sustainable future. The hypothetical brand teaches school students to upcycle their old garments, with the curriculum extending across various subjects.
'Thred' was created to represent an educational service, with a link to embroidery and upcycling, with a play on the word 'Thread' which represents the intra-subject curriculum and upcycling. The font was kept legible, with the serif accents similar to those used in educational environments. Green was used to feed through the logo nodding to the brand's sustainable identity.

Sustainable Award designs
February 2024- March 2024
Last March I designed two awards for the Student Sustainability Conference at The University of Leeds. My selected awards were 'Education for Sustainable Development' and 'Innovation, Industry and Infrastructure'.
It was important to maintain the sustainable ethos of the awards, and therefore recycled materials were used to create simple, rustic and authentic awards.
Illustrations for The Meridian Magazine
July 2020- August 2020
During Covid 19, the Meridian Magazine was founded by Eve Bennett to give creatives the opportunity to write, edit and illustrate articles addressing global issues.
Volunteering myself as an artist, I illustrated three articles across various months during Lockdown. This was the illustration for an article looking at 'Activism vs Slacktivism'. I communicated with the writer of the article to talk through what the illustration should communicate before designing and creating the artwork.
