WIRED Health is an editorially curated event exploring the future of healthcare, medicine, and health technology. It brings together scientists, innovators, and industry leaders through talks, panels, and live experiences focused on emerging ideas shaping the future of health. We developed a vibrant visual identity for the event, combining contemporary illustration with user-centred web design to create a cohesive brand presence. The resulting design system increased audience engagement and enhanced visibility across both digital and print touchpoints.

The 2022 GQ Car Awards marked the fourteenth edition of GQ’s annual celebration of excellence in the automotive industry, with a strong focus on electric vehicles, innovation, and design. The event recognised standout achievements across multiple categories, reflecting the industry’s shift toward battery-powered and zero-emission mobility. As part of the design team for the awards at the Corinthia Hotel, London, I contributed to a cohesive, multi-channel visual experience. Spanning bespoke video and photography, event branding, social media templates, awards-night screen content, and food and drink menus, ensuring a consistent visual language across both physical and digital touchpoints.

As Design Director at WIRED, I played a key role in shaping the brand’s visual identity and creative output across platforms. My remit spanned the print magazine, bespoke landing pages, websites, and social templates. I led design teams and commissioned world-class photographers and illustrators. Together, we created distinctive, editorially driven work that increased engagement and sparked cultural conversation.

As Senior Designer at GQ, I led the design of key sections within the magazine, including Details, Cars, Taste, and House Rules. My role encompassed art direction, commissioning illustration and photography whilst designing complete sections in close collaboration with editors and the Creative Director.
