Poutama: The Wellbeing Series for People in Prisons
Project
Poutama is an activity book that was initiated when regular prison programmes were shut down due to the COVID-19 lockdowns. Designed to support mental health and personal growth. It features puzzles, creative prompts, and information in English and Te Reo Māori.
Role
I worked within an established design system to layout the books and source the imagery. I handled the typesetting for the bilingual text, making sure the pages stayed clean, readable, and consistent across the whole series of activity books.
Outcome
I worked on the second series as it had been renewed due to it being so well received. Throughout working on this project we received really meaningful feedback about how much this publication meant to staff and people in prisons.

Salient Magazine
Project
Salient is the award-winning student magazine of Te Herenga Waka, Victoria University of Wellington, renowned for its independent, bold, and counter-cultural campus journalism.
Role
As the sole designer for 2022, I managed the visual production of 24 issues with a five day production timeline. I collaborated closely with editors and writers to design weekly feature spreads, select typography, and maintain a cohesive artistic style under tight print deadlines. My work bridged the gap between student journalism and visual storytelling, ensuring the magazine was highly readable and visually engaging.
Outcome
Received the following awards at the Aotearoa Student Press Awards: Best Cover Winner, Best Centerfold Winner, Best Illustrator Runner Up, Best Design Runner Up, and Best Publication Runner Up.
