Art From The Margins

I am responsible for designing all of Art From The Margins' exhibition marketing materials both in print and digital formats. These projects encompass a diverse range, from eye-catching exhibition and event flyers to stylish business cards and even the cover of a 32-page calendar showcasing participants' artworks, which was retailed as exclusive AFTM merchandise. Renowned for my ability to ensure cohesion across various platforms, I meticulously design corresponding social media posts for each flyer, which are showcased on Art From The Margins' active Facebook and Instagram Pages.

Sticker Designs

In 2023, I began experimenting with sticker designs and quickly developed a love for the process. I also utilize my stickers as a form of guerrilla marketing. You can find them sprinkled throughout the streets of Brisbane, inviting viewers to engage with my art in unexpected places. These stickers serve not only as expressions of my creativity but also as small, delightful surprises for those who discover them.

University Projects

This richly illustrated A5 booklet, the first I ever published, features a broad overview of Ukraine and three types of Ukrainian folk art: Petrykivka, Psanky, and Embroidery. My extensive research informed the booklet (references available upon request). I particularly enjoyed the process of illustrating it and continue to create similar booklets for clients, including multiple artists' portfolios.

University Projects

These designs are studies of multiple illustration styles and compositions used for product packaging, such as Bryant and May Redhead’s Miss Redhead and the Fujiya Company’s Pekochan. I studied the packaging by recreating the designs, illustrating the mascots to resemble myself, and changing the packaging text to reflect my personality and interests. This project not only allowed me to broaden my illustration skills and improve my compositions but also fueled my passion for learning about historical illustration and graphic design trends.

Personal Projects

I created these flat lays for E-commerce in response to a design brief proposed during a trial for a Graphic Design position at a local clothing boutique. The design brief was to create flat lays for the store’s Instagram Stories, these compositions directly reference the boutique’s branding to ensure consistency.

Personal Projects

During my spare time, I enjoy designing creative, multipurpose compositions. These compositions function as a way of strengthening and expanding my understanding of Graphic Design and Adobe Creative Suite programs through experimentation.
