As sole Graphic Designer at FBM Architects I refreshed the practice website, creating a more user-friendly interface design that gives clarity to the user journey. Through responsive web design, projects are showcased using maximum screen resolution. Simple navigation menus translate well across desktop, tablet and mobile interfaces.
I worked with the web design company Brand Response to develop a dynamic identity across their website and refreshed their logo design.
Presentation work has included producing large scale boards for competitions and award events, such as the celebration of Peabody Housing Association’s 150th Anniversary.
I created a series of information graphics used in a competition for a centre housing an Envac sustainable vacuum waste collection system. The diagrams communicate the use of solar energy and localised high water table levels that could be harnessed to sustain a greenhouse, as a community engagement part of the scheme.
For the FBM office trip to Porto, Portugal in 2017 I produced a digital map using My Maps in Google alongside a folded print map. The designs and research proved a success; enabling the practice to tour places of architectural interest in a short period of time by following bespoke walking routes I set up in the maps for them.
FBM participated in an Open Studio event. As part of the preparation for the activities involved, I worked with the architects researching the history of the area surrounding the office and collated a walking route hand-out leaflet. The leaflet helped to connect visitors to places of historical interest, encouraging them to take their own photos of existing details to add them to a historical (colour coded) locator diagram back in the office, after completing the walk.
As part of a series of after work office social events, I ran architecturally themed collage workshops. They proved popular and were a good way to socialise, unwind after work and be creative together.
Responsible for creating new colour palettes and distinctive wayfinding signage that relates and responds to site history, the building form, or the existing built environment and branding. I have worked alongside the architects, project managing a wide range of different signage schemes.
Solely responsible for a wide range of printed material at CivicArts. Working alongside architects and landscape designers, briefs included developing large scale information posters, screen-based presentation material, moodboards, project books, catalogues, picture research and interior design decisions.
New information designs in print and online helped to communicate disability statistics for the charity ADD International, increasing their revenue from individual donors.
I worked alongside Brand Response with the entrepreneurial initiative Wyrd to help design their online learning platform, whereby young people themselves create learning material via a smartphone App and can share their entries with each other.
Working with Brand Response I produced the design and strategy for Citizens UK national website prior to the 2015 General Election. The new website infrastructure proved crucial in capturing support for their grassroots campaign to resettle Syrian refugees fleeing conflict.
