About Me

Hi, I'm Katie- A Stylist and Digital Designer.

Meet Katie, a dynamic fashion branding and communication graduate specialising in styling, graphic design and marketing. With a keen eye for aesthetics and a deep understanding of consumer behaviour, her work bridges the gap between business analysis and visual design.

Throughout this final project, I've explored business innovation and graphics from the realms of UI/UX design, brand strategy to device prototypes. Although I hope to explore fashion styling in the industry, the past three years have enabled me to understand the complete components that make up a brand. Throughout the course, my work has employed themes of sustainability and personal identity whilst networking via styling collaborations.

INSPIRATION

In a world of constant trends and content, lacks the beauty of simplicity.

2b frank is a digital platform driven with the purpose to make secondhand shopping more accessible and inviting for Gen-Z consumers. It is a solution to the unequal balance of e-commerce technologies between fast-fashion shopping and secondhand resale. 2b frank collaborates with the leading resale sites like Depop and eBay to revolutionise the user experience. Catering to Gen-Z's preference for instant gratification, the concept embraces modern intelligence and technology as a greener tool for good.

45% of shoppers say that one of the main deterrents from shopping secondhand more comes from the difficulty in finding an item they like. No longer should shopping sustainably feel like finding a needle in a haystack. Through entirely relying on an image-based search engine, 2b frank provides a simplified, efficient, and eco-friendly solution for today's conscientious shopper.

MY WORK

PORTFOLIOS
