Working with the Nixon team on a range of people-focused and place-oriented projects, while also developing their upcoming new visual identity as they begin a new chapter.
Collaborating with the strategy team, I developed brand positioning for various FMCG products. This role involved understanding market trends, consumer behaviour, and the competitive landscapes. I researched and shared strategic insights, and discovered new processes to position brands across different markets.
Working alongside Creative Directors Charlie Hocking and Nathan Smith, I developed the visitor publication guide for the 2023 RTS Cambridge Convention ‘Too Much To Watch‘ (featured in ItsNiceThat, Brand New, Creative Boom). The publication required a keen attention to detail, awareness of print production, and an understanding of typographic standards. I’m proud to have contributed to a publication that guided and informed over 350 industry leaders.
I played a role in the evolution of Alexander, an award-winning long-form audiobook platform featuring original stories from celebrated writers, narrated by academy acclaimed talent. Recognising the challenge of designing visuals for an audio-first medium, we developed a flexible design system that celebrates authors, narrators, and guests. The system leverages bold typography with a selection of motion pieces to foster the platform as an audio-first experience.
