Website design has been a small but enjoyable part of my creative practice over the years. My experience began during my GCSE studies, where I created a solo radio project that involved designing, branding, and launching my own fictional radio station. As part of the project, I built a website for the station and produced supporting audio clips to establish its identity.

​

At the University of Winchester, I had several opportunities to further explore website creation through academic projects. One of the most significant was during the Social Media, Advertising, and Branding module, where I developed my first personal brand, “designbymillie.” This project included a website showcasing my design and TikTok content and played an important role in shaping my identity as a media creative. I also created a blog-style site to document my creative process, reflections, and research throughout the project.

​

In my final year, I built another website for a Digital Journalism module titled “Popcorn and Plot Twists,” a pop culture platform focused on film, television, and fan communities. The project featured written articles, interviews, and a video interview, while allowing me to experiment with bold, retro-inspired design.

These projects allowed me to explore digital design, storytelling, and user experience, and remain some of the most enjoyable and formative experiences of my time at university.
