Below you'll find a collection of my visual and written work curated during my fashion journalism course. Displaying my variety of skills from graphic design to feature writing.
Despite studying fashion journalism, which requires a lot of writing, the course has steered me towards more visual work. From illustrations, mood boards to creating the layout for an entire magazine, I've dipped into most aspects of visual work and am keen to further my skills.
My writing style has undoubtedly adapted and changed over time. But I can officially say I have mastered coming up with 'punny' titles. When it comes to my tone I like to keep it sharp and witty creating a fast-paced and enjoyable read.
For my final project at university, I have created a magazine called Poco. Poco is a magazine that highlights the ins and outs of small businesses and gives makers a platform.
In second year of uni, I was allocated the editor role in a group project to produce a magazine from scratch based on a director. The director assigned was Larry Clark and we created 4th Base based on his film K.I.D.S. Our mag is a raw and authentic publication for gen-z that covers every taboo topic possible.
During the coronavirus lockdown, I created Bloom By Grace to keep myself busy. What started as wanting to make myself a new makeup bag, soon turned into a small business in which I hand-make and sell custom bags through Instagram.
