Editorial design, packaging design
I’m a designer with a keen interest in editorial book design, as well as bottle packaging and album covers, all being areas that I’ve pushed myself towards during my degree and excelled in. I’ve often found myself enjoying more minimalist designs but I also find branching into other styles fun and have involved myself in illustrative, typographic, and many other approaches across my work. I especially enjoy finding inspiration on sites like Pinterest and behance to flesh out my ideas and approaches. Alongside my studies, I’ve been working in a data visualisation role for a non-design company located in Sheffield, and also have been pushing myself to improve my design skills through personal projects, such as practicing illustration which has been useful recently on a web design project where I was able to utilise my illustrations in ways I hadn’t before.
Dà Mhìle’s gin packaging
For this project, I chose to do a redesign of Dà Mhìle’s gin bottle labels, my goal was to transfer their core values to a more modern, clean looking design. Dà Mhìle highly value the history and location of their farm and distillery and the organic ingredients involved in the process of making their drinks.
Rooted newspaper
For this project, I chose to design a newspaper, and all its systems, for plant-lovers called ‘Rooted’. I used plant-themed aesthetics and visuals alongside the articles surrounding recent plant news, tips for gardeners and houseplant owners and plant top picks for upcoming seasons.
