Design is my first language—a way of shaping experiences, organizing information, and bringing ideas to life. I began my career as a junior graphic artist, but my design instincts have always extended beyond professional work. I have consistently used my skills to support voluntary organizations, community projects, and grassroots initiatives. Whether it’s creating event posters, visual resources, or structured reports, I instinctively see the design that fits the message.

This natural instinct for design extends into every project I take on. One example is The Big Breakfast, where I sought to capture a sense of warmth, energy, and togetherness through visual composition and color choices.

Project: The Big Breakfast

This design was inspired by the feeling of a big, hearty breakfast—a plate filled with all the good things you want to start your day. I have always been drawn to the rhythm and harmony of circles, and I wanted to capture that comforting, communal quality through the composition. The idea of warmth, energy, and togetherness shaped my color choices, using a palette of bold reds, deep browns, and bright yellows to evoke a sense of invitation and abundance.

Design Approach

  • Bold Colors: The red background is energizing and inviting, while the yellow and brown elements provide contrast and a sense of warmth.

  • Circular Composition: The large central shape acts like a plate, anchoring the design and creating a feeling of balance and rhythm.

  • Flat Illustration Style: Simple, high-contrast food icons make the design recognizable and playful while maintaining clarity.

  • Typography Hierarchy: A strong, bold sans-serif font ensures instant readability, with supporting text in a smaller but legible format.

  • Negative Space & Flow: The surrounding food elements guide the viewer’s eye around the design without feeling overcrowded.

The final result was a visually engaging and inviting design that resonated with its audience, embodying the warmth and community of a shared breakfast.

The Impact

This poster successfully captured the spirit of the event, making it visually engaging, clear, and memorable. It was shared across social media and in local community spaces, contributing to the event’s strong turnout.
