The Female Lead - merchandise
2022
I launched merchandise for The Female Lead, designed and illustrated the core collection artwork, created the merch website and implemented an influencer campaign to our 7 million total social media followers.
 I researched the target market, fulfilment houses and sustainable production methods.
 I created a poll for a control group of our target audience, to gain the market research we needed for, clothing fit, style, colour - as well as product demand and preferred design aesthetic.
 I designed the whole TFL merchandise core collection, built the website and handled customer relations, order fulfilment and website changes.
We Rise By Lifting Others: Volume II (67 illustrations)
2022
'We Rise By Lifting Others: Volume II' (Amazon 'bestselling hardback photography' book): The Female Lead collaborated with 67 inspiring women, interviewing them and their empowering lives. This book was fully illustrated by myself and each page has a significant object from each of the women within, describing as to why the object is pertinent to them - with a backstory for why it holds such value and their success! I'd illustrate their treasured items, ranging from: Samurai swords, African fertility dolls, Sarah Storey's olympic signet ring, Deborah Francis-White's suffragette coin necklace and the first female prime minister of Australia, Julia Gillard's passport, Twiggy's makeup mirror (gifted from Fred Astaire), Sheryl Crow's guitar ("The Little Moneymaker") and many more illustrations of these beautiful sentimental objects.

This campaign was to help influence people to shape their social media in a more positive platform for what they're viewing, to follow content creators that benefit them and unfollow the negative energy, content and flip the script on the social media algorithm.
