    Japanese Style iTunes Application

    2009 // I was commissioned to design an interface, and supporting graphics, for an iTunes application. The brief specified that the design had to have a Japanese influence, incorporating bright and fun colours, while maintaing a user-friendly design.

    Mee Mee Application

    2008 // I jumped on the iTunes application bandwagon and teamed up with a friend from uni to create a childrens' application called MeeMee. My partner had previous coding experience and set out to code the app while I designed and created all of the graphics and branding.

    Snow White Conspiracy

    2008 // The Snow White Conspiracy website was another university project. Designed and constructed to coincide with a play, of the same name, that was being produced by the university. The website needed to express the dark nature of the play and required both XHTML and Flash elements

    NASS E-Journal

    2008 // Another university project required me to give the Interactive Media E-Journal of the National Academy of Screen and Sound (NASS) a makeover. Design restrictions were in place, including the need to maintain the exisiting structure and frames. The design included both Flash and XHTML elements.

    2008 // The Caladenia House project was another university based project requiring my small team of 3 to create a functional website, which would include videoclips of the staff, for the Caladenia House Counselling Service.
