Foothold is a sustainability-led, lead, footwear focused brand designed to make people more eco-conscious when purchasing footwear. The app and brand are designed to appeal to a younger audience who perhaps aren’t aware of the consequences of fashion industry issues such as fast fashion and how products are manufactured. The app acts as a central base for all the services and products that Foothold offers such as their sustainability scan feature which allows users to scan shoes and receive a detailed breakdown of its materials and origin, as well as an overall score based on how sustainable it is.

UMusic Autumn

Branding, Animation, Advertising

As part of a collaborative project with D&AD New Blood awards, I oversaw the rebrand for Universal Music UK’s UMusic Autumn. For this project I took the old UMusic branding and identity and redesigned it into something I felt was more fitting for the brand as it previously didn’t have much of an identity. This included a new logo and strapline that would be used across all the promotional material that we would later design to promote the event which included posters, tickets and wristbands as well as digital assets such as email campaign templates. I also created an animation to bring our project together and display all the content that we had created in a professional way.

connecting you with music.

Special Study

Fashion design, Print, Photography

Supporting material for my dissertation that discusses branding within streetwear fashion. I chose to visually represent my dissertation by designing and printing my own t-shirt and packaging that pays homage to some of the designers I referenced within my writing such as the late Virgil Abloh, founder of Off-White. Alongside the t-shirt, I also printed a segment of my dissertation on a Ziploc-style packing bag and then the remainder of my writing in a ‘Hypebeast’ inspired fashion magazine to tie the project together.
