Graduate Designer
I was closely involved with the design team at InDI to produce two short films for the Scottish Leadership Forum 2014. We were responsible for approaching the members of the organizations from the public sector such as Theatre Nemo, Fuse Youth Cafe, Bridging the Gap and Article 12. The insights, knowledge and experience expressed by the passionate members of these organizations were displayed through the video direction of 2 short films; Giving Voice part 1 and Giving Voice part 2.
I was also part of the conceptualization and design-making of engagement between us and the organizations, through the playful use of kites and kite-making. We established a beautiful visual language that was used to display messages, opinions and wishes of the loyal members and volunteers from these communities, which was then portrayed throughout the videos and the SLF event.
Along with this, I was part of the facilitation team during the Scottish Leadership Forum 2014.
