As a student I'm particularly interested in learning and developing in as many facets as possible, I have aimed to be proficient in various mediums and softwares throughout my degree to allow for my designs only to be prevented by my very own creativity rather than skill. Regardless, as a design student I aim to not only make things aesthetically pleasing but also attempt to innovate and improve on the landscapes my work contextually resides in. My interests remain within design that is unique and modern for its time however I still find my self particularly interested with the font Helvetica and I don't see myself changing from that anytime soon.
When Thou Comest
This publication was designed in the effort to communicate the feeling of the Melbourne suburb, Armadale through the world renowned narrative of "Rapunzel". The publication aims to encapsulate the same motifs present within Armadale, conjoining traditional and modern design. Where this idea is present is within the innate construction of the publication, using unconventional or modernistic design within such a traditional form as the publication. Furthermore the work utilises a stark neon green something associated with digital RGB colour and not that of tangible print, an attempt to align the work with modernity, as well as this the work uses various unconventional page layouts.

This project entitled "Powers" is an instructive brochure aimed to support and facilitate conversations between parents and their children about strategies to navigate and identify their emotions. The brochure read aloud or with their children, discusses and defines emotions in a playful way, as well as provides an activity after the reading, this activity is curated in a way to go along with the strategies to navigate challenging emotions, the concept plays on the idea that the children can create a superhero persona to defeat these detrimental feelings rather than expressing them in negative way. In regard to sustainability the brochure itself is used to create the mask once finished.
