Hi! I am a creative graphic designer with a focus on digital design, illustration, and motion graphics. I'm always up to new challenges, keen to learn, and never shy away from asking those "stupid" questions.
Follow me on instagram, stalk me on facebook (that's creepy, though), check out vimeo, blah blah blah behance and woop woop woop for some music.
Redefining The Economist's journalism through social media

Between 2019 and 2020 I worked as a social media designer at The Economist to establish the visual identity of its social media channels. The aim was not only to help it stand out but also bring formats that the social team could use without any help from a designer. During my time working on the feed we saw our engagement increase dramatically and hit 5+ million followers.
Instagram Stories
Through a combination of animated and illustrated Instagram Stories, accompanied by music and interactive tools, we brought data-driven stories to life on The Economist'sInstagram account. You can explore these captivating Stories in the highlights section.

A big part of my time at The Economist was introducing flexibility and accessibility into our template layouts. We held workshops for the Social team and gave them a brand guidelines document. With this knowledge and resource they were able to easily mix and match layouts themselves to create engaging narratives on the fly from a range of templates.

The Essential
The Essential was a side project to develop a mobile app and newsletter concept that delivers concise and important news from The Economist on a daily basis.
The one-page format is divided into three news categories: Top Stories, Weekend Reads, and a Daily Podcast. During my free time, I collaborated with the editors team to incorporate their ideas into a potential future newsletter and app.
