Special Projects: Finding Ivy - 2023
In 2023, I brought my creative expertise to Finding Ivy, a research initiative exploring the lives of individuals with mental health conditions who were tragically executed by Nazi Germany in the 1940s. This deeply moving project culminated in a UK-wide touring exhibition, for which I designed all the exhibition installations and marketing materials.
My role involved working with project leads, advising on print formats and marketing collateral for the exhibition event, designing banners in both English and German languages, designing event banners, and taking responsibility for development. I also communicated with production companies and negotiated costs and delivery.
The exhibition started at London City Lit on 22 May 2024 and later traveled across the UK to various venues, including hosts in Germany.
