Kingston’s Career Centre
The Career Centre at Kingston University offers support and guidance to students and alumni, helping them explore, plan, and advance their careers.
Problem:
I worked as a temporary designer at the Career Centre, stepping in to support the team during a transition period.
My Contribution:
Co-designed promotional materials, including over 500 tote bags were distributed to students as part of a campus-wide initiative. Asked to design merchandise as one of the team members was leaving, ensuring continuity in the visual branding.
Designing for Diversity. It's a Collaborative Project to Visually Represent Student Courses
This project began as a creative collaboration between me and another student, sparked by a simple question: "How can we visually represent every student’s course in a unified way?"
We dove into brainstorming, exploring symbols that could resonate with a wide range of disciplines—from science to the arts. Once we narrowed down the core themes, we divided the work based on our strengths and interests. I was responsible for crafting a set of custom icons using Adobe Illustrator, ensuring each one was simple, recognisable, and visually cohesive within the overall set.
Designing for Personal Branding – ECE Presentation Deck
When I was nominated for my fresh take on LinkedIn branding, I was invited to collaborate with an Electrical and Electronic Engineering (ECE) Career Advisor to co-create a personal branding pitch deck tailored for ECE students.
We worked closely to combine technical career advice with bold, modern visuals that would resonate with a student audience. I led on the visual design and layout, making sure the information was both accessible and eye-catching. In addition, I helped shape the content of the presentation.
This was a unique chance to merge career strategy with design and turn a traditionally dry topic into something empowering and engaging.
Tools I've used Microsoft Word, Google Search, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop and Canva.
Disability Career Centre logo ideation
This project came together on shorter notice than I expected, so I had to move quickly from idea to execution. These were my initial logo concepts, created using Adobe Illustrator. I focused on capturing the essence of the brief while keeping the designs clean, scalable, and adaptable for different uses.
In this design, I experimented with the Career Centre’s brand colours to maintain visual consistency. However, during the development process, we realised that the colour meanings shifted from the intended message and didn’t effectively represent disability inclusion. As a result, we decided not to move forward with this version.
This is the final logo we chose. The colour palette was carefully selected to represent all abilities, reinforcing the message that everyone has their own unique strengths. The design aims to be inclusive, empowering, and visually balanced to reflect a diverse community.
Taste of Graduation: A Minimalist Recipe Booklet Design
Problem: The supervisor needed a designer to create a recipe book for graduates to enjoy over the summer.
Solution: I designed a clean, easy-to-read recipe booklet through multiple iterations and feedback rounds. I kept the layout minimal and used a limited colour palette to ensure the final product was both visually appealing and cost-effective for print production.
