About me
Creative Director at ALSO Agency. We’re a design agency specialising in branding and marketing for commercial real estate and property.

  • #mateactnow
    #mateactnowAt its core, all information on climate change is binary. It’s either scientific evidence or opinion. Which should we pay attention to? For World Earth Day and I participated in Mate Act Now to raise our collective middle finger against #climatechange. Mate Act Now = Climate Action Now. A poster protest for the digital generation.

  • The Merlin Centre
    The Merlin CentreThe Merlin Centre is an industrial park in St. Albans. Our client needed to change the way their product was seen so a brand identity was created to market their investment. We referenced wooden shipping crates, boxes and pallets and simplified them to create a monogrammed ‘MC’ icon. The lettering in the type was stacked directly on top of itself, like the crates that once sat in the warehouses.
