Origami Elephants for Bupa "Make the Elephant Run" Event
Origami Elephants for Bupa "Make the Elephant Run" Event
Summer 2023




I was invited to be part of Bupa's campaign, "Make the Elephant Run", a four-week-long digital event to celebrate Bupa’s achievements at the midway point of their 3x6 company strategy, & to energise all employees to keep going.
The focus was to encourage the team to think on the qualities of the elephant; their resilience, strength and determination to get things done, and so as as part of this campaign, the Bupa offices in central London were transformed into a quasi-savana, with branding and design by Hope Eatock.
Even with this physical edge to the campaign, a digital branding idea like this sometimes needs to be made even more hands-on, and so I was invited to design and then teach a simple Origami Elephant at the Bupa offices to their team, to give a few moments of downtime and creativity!

It was a lot of fun to meet the team on a lunch break at the offices, and people loved the opportunity to get creative, and have a bit of a break from the day-to-day! As an origami artist, I often forget that most people have never really made anything they are that proud of from origami, and so it is always a delight to see the smiling faces and all the finished models arrayed around the offices!

My thanks to Bupa or arranging this fab event!

Edible Origami Grasshopper and Locusts for Knorr Social Media Campaign
Since a child I have always loved folding wrapper for sweets and chocolates, turning shiny foils that are normally chucked away into tiny birds, flowers and other animals. In this project I got to do something similar, but this time I was actually folding the food! Yep, edible Origami!
