Sample selection of carefully designed and curated pieces of art, highlighting skills and effective layout of graphic design elements & products
Pattern development, digital illustration and story telling through imagery. Adobe Illustrator was used to create three dimensional digital illustrations, background patterns and foreground details, with the more complex design tools available in the program, using vintage ribbon and childhood memories as inspiration. Care was taken to choose a cohesive color scheme, to follow good design principles and make the facial features of the dolls personable.
A visual introduction of myself using vintage looking elements, an appealing label shape, with Koebis & Naive Inline Light typefaces. An exploration of typography and design skills influenced by chalk art and foil trends, incorporating hand drawn olive branches to add interest to the design layout.
Floral vectors made in Adobe Illustrator, developed into patterns. Both Hero and Blender patterns were created with the elements, presented here in a soft modern color palette. These patterns can easily be transferred onto many products and surfaces. For example, glazed ceramic plates, as shown in this Adobe Photoshop Smart Layer mock-up.
Watercolor painting, hand lettering and drawing skills, highlighted alongside more patterns and vector shapes I've made in Adobe Illustrator. The imagery is inspired by traditional European Christmas fables.

An appealing vintage layout with hand drawn illustrations, translated into vector images, I've previously used in both letterpress and screen printing. I've always been deeply influenced by nature and the drive to draw. I love every aspect of design, from concept through production, with a particular soft spot for packaging and paper goods. Creativity is the medicine to my brain.
