I am a visual communications student who seeks connection through design. Throughout my time studying visual communications, I have explored a wide range of disciplines, with a particular interest in editorial design, moving images, and photography. What I enjoy most is finding the connection within a story and using design to bring that forward in a clear and considered way. My work often looks at ordinary, everyday things and highlights the richness within them, showing the value and beauty that can exist in familiar subjects. I enjoy creating work that feels engaging and personal, while still allowing the viewer to find their own connection within it.
From A to B and Everything in Between
This project reframes commuting as a space of unnoticed connection within the city. Rather than treating the journey as a waste of time, it considers the commute as an experience in which time is felt differently. The commute is both structured and open. While shaped by routine, timetables, and fixed routes, it's also filled with moments of reflection and observation. At its center, it is the moment where the body continues through the structure of the journey while the mind begins to wander. In this condition, the commuter exists in a suspended state, neither fully present in the journey nor fully beyond it. The project explores this condition as one that is at once personal and communal, revealing how commuters become quietly entangled with the movement of the city, with one another, and with time itself. It asks that this ordinary experience be seen with greater depth and attention.
Out the Back
This unbound publication repositions trade as a connective force through my grandad’s building of a Long-EZ aircraft. Bringing together material from his archive, photographs from the plane’s completion, and photographs I took of his decaying shed and tools still lying there today, it explores the ways making becomes a form of connection. Ideas to material, people to people, and person to environment. Through these three strands, the publication shows how trade can preserve memory and connection long after the work itself is done.
