Louise Alexander
BA Illustration
I am an illustrator exploring branding and product design, creating tactile, hand-crafted outcomes. Using bold monoprint, paint and ink textures, I produced placemat, napkin, and interior designs for the D&AD New Blood Awards competition and product designs for Bubbles & Bows Dog Groomers. I have been the Zine Society president for two years, winning the NUASU’s ‘Outstanding Contribution to Societies and Clubs’ award 2024, and nominated for the ‘Outstanding New Society’ award 2022.
I gained strong teamwork skills in collaborations with the ‘Anatomy of a Panda’ car design and the Copenhagen Institute for Future Studies and Virgin Wines, for which my label design was shortlisted. The Creative Computing diploma in between my degree further built on these collaborative and technical skills, all achieved whilst having a part-time job for three years as a waitress. I have developed strong communication and project management skills, and I look forward to working with others on bigger projects.
