I am a multi passionate, cross-disciplinary designer, with an interest in storytelling and conceptual design. Focusing on highly conceptual foundations, my personal body of work primarily explores the concepts of identity & expression and most of my work is inspired by the human body and behaviour.

_____ & I Verses The World

_____ & I Verses The World is the start of a growing anthology of experiences expressed through poetry. Printed using analog printing techniques, it questions the possibilities of poetry publication. Poetry as hand-held artefacts, conceptually presented as objects that invite one to interact, relate or ponder upon the stories captured within these printed abodes.

Moon is about the conflict of the denial of unfathomable feelings with a simultaneous embracing of what matters the most. Captured in natural surroundings to contrast with the metallic feel, a nod to the contrast and conflict of what comes naturally but is denied deliberately.

Plant is about organic intoxication, but when you also feel it with a person. It’s about awareness and vulnerability. Captured in natural settings, with a certain movement, it depicts how some relationships aren’t meant to stay but leave you with an afterthought.

Chance is about reciprocation, more so the lack of it, captured as a series of images depicting frustration followed by acceptance and understanding.

A campaign encouraging a community of listeners to amplify the voices unheard and stories untold, bringing to light stories of the support staff at GAFC and beyond to inform this season’s kit. The design of the kit is a celebration of these stories, and the wearer becomes the bearer.
