Hello! I’m Sian, a recently graduated Design for Publishing student from Norwich University of the Arts. I specialise in print design, editorial and book interiors,
however am always looking for ways to express my creativity. I am currently based in Worcester, West Midlands but would love to branch out! 

I am a passionate and detail-driven designer with a focus on creating thoughtful, engaging and user-centred work. Whether I’m developing visual identities
or experimenting with print and layout, I approach each project with curiosity, creativity and care. 

This portfolio showcases a selection of my work and reflects my journey as a designer.

    Redesign an Agatha Christie Novel
    Harper Collins Live Brief

    For this brief we were asked to redesign an Agatha Christie novel. I chose to focus on the novel ‘Hallowe’en Party’ as the film ‘A Haunting in Venice’ has recently been released, which was inspired by the Chistie whodunit.

    These spreads are for a film lover magazine, focusing on critics’ reviews and the publics’ opinion on the Kenneth Branagh film.
