About














Ardour

Collaborative project by Bibi Lewin-Sanderson and Roxanna Luke.

A publication on the topic of protest. Issue 1 is a guide through Derek Jarman’s garden, each chapter inspired by different sections of his Dungeness home. The curated selection of articles is a reflection on how in it’s nature, Prospect Cottage and it’s surroundings, is a symbol of expressive opposition.

Good Squish Campaigns

Working with London-based hair accessories brand Good Squish, I helped promote their 2-week Christmas Pop-Up store in Soho. This included creating an advent calender that was filled with Squish prizes to be won on the lead up to the opening night. During my time as a graphic design intern, I also created artwork for mailouts and across social medias, exploring their wonderful world of whimsy brand aesthetics.

The Enchanted Forest

Voices of the Future: “The co-production of this story is underpinned by the commitment to attending to children’s voices and imaginations in order to create worlds that speak to their fantasies. Through a series of workshops with 90 Year 4 children (the 2023/2024 cohort) and A M Dassu, the children were positioned as co-authors and co-editors as they undertook numerous tasks including character identifications, story line development, scene elaborations, detailed linguistic descriptions and elaborate editing.” Alongside illustrator Maisy Summer, I typeset and designed this A5 storybook.

Plants for Unity

Plants for Unity is a biodiversity-inspired comic book written, illustrated, and devised by the Youth Forum at The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. The Kew Youth Forum are a group of 14 - 17 year olds who come together monthly to meet like-minded people, learn about the natural world, and to make art that inspires people to care about protecting threatened species of plants and fungi. The stories they have written touch upon themes of belonging, togetherness, and the critical need for us to band together to halt biodiversity loss however we can.

The Great Stir

The Great Stir
explores the process of dealing with change which is a phenonmenon that humans are usually are opposed to. The effect of this on the brain can cause disorientation and can alter our perceptions and processing. This is illustrated through the blurring categorisation of materials taking the form of  7 different artefacts.

Love on Oxford Road

A collaborative project with Eve Pemrick, Annie Pugsley, and Hannah Whitworth

A celebration of queer love by recognising the small and specific intimacies both shared and experienced along Oxford Road, a street running through Manchester’s centre. 15 stickers were designed and feature in the split screen short film - the project aims to be of relevance to LGBTQIA students and citizens of Manchester that will find humor and relatability in the specificities and familiarities of the shots.

The Empty Words Colouring Book

Working with extracts from her 2019 speech to the UN as a basis, the colouring book aims to engage and educate readers on the climate crisis in a creative and fun way. Greta gave this speech at the United Nations in New York City in 2019. It is a typical example of the way she communicates. I chose to aim this at children as considering Thunberg’s work, she has been notably influential in the ‘Fridays for Future’ protests in which school students strike in order to make their voices heard on the topic.

Book Covers - Penguin Time Series

Book cover renditions for Generation A, The Years and The Order of Time. By use of the process of cyanotype by which the imagery is reliant on the exposure to sunlight, I gave the series a new look all linked to the same motif of the passing of time.
