Hi! I'm Simone,
and this is my
design portfolio
Im a 30 year old designer from Gravesend.
Looking for a new challenge & to join a dynamic team.
About me
Hey there! I'm Simone, powered by coffee and endless creativity. I'm all about minimal maximalism, throwing everything into a design and then refining it to tell captivating stories. With over 7 years in the travel industry, I've mastered the art of selling dreams and creating FOMO. Proficient in the Adobe Trinity (Ps, Ai, Id), I've recently delved into After Effects, feeding my insatiable hunger for learning. Now, I'm on the hunt for a vibrant, hard-working team that's ready to embrace a playful spirit and tackle exciting challenges together.
Polygon Portraits
During the COVID lockdown, I seized the opportunity to expand my skills as a designer. With extra time on my hands, I delved into the world of digital art, fulfilling a long-time dream of creating portraits using only triangles. The challenge was exhilarating, and I found immense joy in mastering this unique technique. Since then, I've completed 8 commissions, delighting customers with personalised gifts for their loved ones.
Magazine ads
One of the more creative responsibilities in my current role involved working on Condè Nast Traveller and The Sunday Times Ultra Travel magazine ads. I'm excited to share a selection of ads that I've successfully published. These pieces demonstrate my ability to capture the essence of a location and entice viewers to learn more. Let's take a peek!
Virgin atlantic’s 40th party
In July 2024, I played a key role in preparing for Virgin Atlantic's exclusive 40th anniversary celebration, scheduled for 1st August. My contributions included designing and handcrafting 120 invitations, 15 badges, a roller sign, and a lot of bunting.
The project received enthusiastic feedback from both the planning team and Virgin Atlantic’s partners. This experience has been highly rewarding, showing my dedication and passion for creating memorable and high-quality designs. Photos of the completed work will be available after the event, but I am pleased to share a preview of my creations.
Trade show roller sign
Every now and then, a spontaneous task lands on my plate, demanding immediate attention. A year or so ago, I was tasked with designing roller signs with just a single day's notice. Surprisingly, I thrive under pressure, and I firmly believe that some of my finest work emerges when time is scarce. What I love most is the variety; when my day-to-day is never the same, and I thrive in environments where each day brings a new challenge.
Franchise Rebrand
I had the exciting opportunity to take on the rebranding of the franchise branch of our company. The challenge? Injecting some humour into the mix and catching the eye of LinkedIn scrollers. The goal was to attract new travel managers and tailor our recruitment efforts to appeal to up-and-coming travel agents.
I absolutely relished this project. It allowed me to flex my creative muscles for a branch of the company that was ripe for a design overhaul. Being given the freedom to showcase my vision was incredibly rewarding, and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.
