About
I have worked for Studio AKIN for the past three years, a strategic design studio focused on creating engaging, seductive and effective brand solutions that grab people’s attention and hearts. In this time I have worked on a range of projects across fashion, culture, art, food and the corporate sector. Being part of a small team of three, collaborating across every step of the process, has allowed me to develop an autonomous and initiative driven design practice.
I approach the design process through research and iteration, finding particular joy in idea generation and wide exploration. Approaching my design practice through a strategic lense ensures the outcome is conceptual, explorative and authentic. I seek to prioritise the synchronisity of strategy, concept and execution — resulting in well considered, thoughtful work.
