Giggling Squid Brand Refresh
Giggling Squid is the UK’s largest Thai restaurant chain, and from October 2021 to July 2023 I worked as the brand’s first in-house designer. In this role, I was solely responsible for the design of all print, digital and motion assets across the 50+ restaurant estate.
A key part of my role was leading a major brand refresh. Prior to this, the visual identity lacked consistency and did not reflect the premium positioning of the brand. I developed a more refined and cohesive visual direction, applying it across a wide range of touchpoints including brand guidelines, advertising campaigns, digital marketing, email design, flyers and in-restaurant POS.

Giggling Squid Brand Guidelines
As part of the brand refresh, I also created comprehensive brand guidelines to support the rollout of the refreshed identity. These introduced clear systems and processes for the use of typography, illustration and logo application for all print and digital assets.
