Exhibitions & Fairs

A selection of exhibitions and fairs I have designed, curated, exhibited, or participated in, showcasing my work alongside other creatives. Working collaboratively with diverse teams, each project has honed my skills in creative direction, problem-solving, presentation, and bringing ideas to life and new audiences through innovative design.

Salomé Exhibition
Graphic Design & Illustration Collaboration
Leeds Beckett University – Broadcasting Place
Oct 2024

Role: Media & Promotion

This exhibition showcased diverse works, providing an opportunity to share my work, connect with a wider audience, and explore others' outcomes. I designed the promotional posters that were displayed around campus, allowing me to extend the project’s visual language into a new medium. This experience reinforced the importance of designing for different contexts and enhanced my understanding of visual communication and audience engagement.

‘Silent Voices’ Exhibition
Leeds Beckett University – LSA Building
Nov 2023

Role: Creative Co-ordinator

As part of the 5.1 Exhibition Team, I helped launch ‘Silent Voices,’ the first L5 Graphic Design Exhibition. As a team, we secured the venue, designed promotional materials, curated and printed works, and organised a launch night—all within a few weeks. This collaborative experience strengthened my skills in exhibition design, teamwork, and event coordination.
