“Better Connections Build Conversations” is an RSA Student Awards competition brief where Dr Vivec Murthy, the speaker within the stop motion animation, carefully chooses positive and constructive language to drive home the theme of connection to the listener. Building conversation as a community helps us understand each other more and ultimately address global issues more effectively in collaboration. The construction of each stop motion scene aims to visualise the effort required to build upon and improve something, inspired by Dr Murthy’s positive dialogue.
 
 “Duopen the World” is a D&AD competition brief set by Duolingo to reintroduce their habitual language learning app to lose who have lost interest. Duopen the World is a campaign in partnership with TripAdvisor that introduces their avian mascot, Ollie the Owl, into the world of Duolingo. The pair offer rewards to British holiday goers that commit to relearning their second language that they can spend on their next vacation! DuoScreen is an extension to your devices that morphs your native language into your chosen second language randomly throughout the day.

For the ISTD brief “Shaping the World,” I chose to design a publication that showcased the worldwide impact of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone by J.K Rowling. The Daily Prophet newspaper and the book series’ unusual ability to blend the modern-day world with the past has inspired the visual outcome of this brief.
