I am a graphic designer interested in combining text, image, and illustration to create engaging and culturally aware work. People are my main inspiration, and I often use human figures as symbols of connection in my projects. After my MA I plan to gain practical experience in a print studio and later join an international agency to work on diverse projects.
My final project, Coffee Beyond Borders, explores how coffee recipes carry cultural meaning and bring people together. I collected and illustrated local drinks from different countries, turning them into cup-shaped books that merge editorial design, illustration, and storytelling. For the Postgrad Shows I am presenting Filter Kaapi, a cup-shaped book dedicated to a traditional South Indian coffee.
