WHAT I’VE BEEN WORKING ON
   
02.Nostalgia Kits
Protein Studios
Trend Analysis
2025

Nostalgia is one helluva drug. For Protein’s latest Dirty Words Report, ‘Nostalgia’, I was approached to use Protein’s research to develop a series of memes: ‘The Kidult’, ‘The Archivist’ and ‘The Artisan’, to illustrate the different archetypes of the nostalgia-prone. This was also paired with an interactive quiz allowing users to find out what type of nostalgic they were.
