A little about me, my approach, and the work
I love to create.

I’m Ciara Allen, a multidisciplinary creative working at the intersection of graphic design, art direction and marketing. With over six years of industry experience, I’ve collaborated with brands including Breville, Olay, Grey Goose, Fulfil and Reddit, creating work that connects strong visual ideas with thoughtful execution.

​

My practice spans brand development, campaign creative, digital design, social content and merchandise, taking ideas from initial concept through to final delivery. Over the past two years, I’ve expanded my experience into marketing at a merchandise agency, designing products for brands such
as Reddit while developing campaigns and creating social content to bring the agency’s work to life.

 

I enjoy moving between creative disciplines, balancing
big-picture thinking with a hands-on approach to design,
and bringing fresh perspectives to fast-paced projects.

​

My work has been recognised with a D&AD New Blood Award for the John Lewis & Partners 2019 brief, alongside a shortlist place at the New Blood Academy. I was also recognised by my university Dean at graduation and received an award for outstanding industry achievement.

​

I’m driven by curiosity, considered design and the opportunity to turn ideas into work that feels distinctive, purposeful and memorable.
