Emilia Sofia Varslauskaite

Media and Communication Graduate 2026

I am a creative and analytical Media and Communications graduate with a strong interest in marketing, advertising, and audience engagement. My approach to work combines research, critical thinking, and visual storytelling to create projects that are both meaningful and impactful. I am a confident communicator who enjoys exploring contemporary issues and translating complex ideas into engaging content.

Beneath the Scroll

My main project, Beneath the Scroll, examines how social media influences the way we think, heal, and understand ourselves. The project explores themes of self-surveillance, digital pressure, and the growing reliance on online platforms for guidance and validation. Through research and personal reflection, I investigated how digital environments shape behaviour and decision-making, encouraging audiences to question their relationship with technology and the content they consume.
