Live Briefs

During my years at Arts University Plymouth, we were given live briefs to give us an idea of what working with a client entails. This was a good introduction to how our professional career could be and gave us valuable skills such as understanding the client’s needs, trend research and marketing.

EDEN PROJECT

This project was a live brief, where we worked alongside the Eden Project to develop either a product or a range of sustainable souvenirs with their retail space as an independent freelance designer. I chose to make a print and some scarves inspired by the Garden of Eden; celebrating women’s and mother nature’s natural beauty.

MAKE SOUTHWEST

Year One:

I created greeting cards, wire decorations and wrapping paper, all made with sustainable materials. My cards and wire decorations were successful in making it through!

Year Two:

For the second year, I made pouches using organic/ sustainable fabrics. These were successful in being put in their retail space.

It was my first experience of being stocked in a retail space and I loved it! I will always be grateful to MAKE Southwest for having me.
