I’ve often struggled to define what I do... 👀 am I a designer, an illustrator, or an artist?

But my recent collaboration for Black History Month Dublin finally helped me connect all these parts of my practice.

For this project, I created the full visual identity, from the logo and graphic identity to posters, web and social media visuals. I also contributed as an artist, with a painting exhibited during the festival and a short film screened as part of the program.

This project became a bridge between my professional work in creative design and my personal exploration of memory, identity, and representation through painting and film.

It reminded me that these worlds don’t have to be separate; they can actually feed each other beautifully!
