Project overview

During my time at Lightsource bp, I worked across a broad portfolio of projects, ranging from everyday brand and marketing design to large-scale strategic initiatives. These included the company’s Sustainability drive, the “Be The Change” recruitment campaign, and digital product work for the Tribe App, developed under LSBP Labs (the company’s technology and innovation arm).

While reporting to a Senior Designer, I often acted as a design lead in practice, owning end-to-end delivery across multiple disciplines from brand identity and UX design to motion and digital execution.
