Baseline Shift welcomes industry experts and Reading alumni alike into the University of Reading to give inspiring talks to students of all years, allowing them to see how the guest speaker has progressed in their design career. Acknowledging their key insights in how they’ve overcome career challenges and the biggest do’s and don’ts for future designers. Baseline Shift gives students a platform where they can ask questions to design professionals, encouraging them to build their network and consider various design paths they have not thought about so far.
I had the opportunity to work with Refugee Support Group, a Reading based charity that supports people seeking sanctuary. They were looking for new ways to raise awareness of their updated name and strengthen their visibility with statutory funders. I was selected alongside another designer to help shape that communication.
As part of a collaborative project, six social media posts and a short animation were developed to highlight the impact of the organisation's services and encourage continued support from partner organisations. The project pushed me to grow creatively as I explored videography, photography and illustration. This experience also allowed me to learn how to navigate professional relationships within the circle of design.
