    uniE613 Sound and Music - In Motion and In the Making logo and brand design
    was the Communications Coordinator at Sound and Music from 2023-34. During this time 2 new national programmes were being developed. I supported the projects’ brand identity development, including logo design. The aim was to streamline Sound and Music’s work into 2 programmes; one working with adult composers (around mid-career) and the other working with young composers (14-18) Key themes were music, composition, artistic development and an accessible space to create. logo graphicdesigner digitalmarketing branding
