- The BotanistWe first worked on the Botanist in Sloane Square over 10 years ago. The studio collaborated with the Natural History Museum to select and hand colour a number of rare illustrations documenting Sir Hans Sloane’s pioneering expedition to the West Indies.

- "How Risky Is Your Stock Market?" AnimationMy Role: Creative Director @ Peregrine Communications The team was commissioned by Victor Haghani, Founder of Elm Partners and TEDx Speaker to produce a thought-leading animation as part of Elm Partners’ Investment Series. The animation highlights the importance of equities to any investment portfolio and the focus on managing risk. Scripting, concepting, content, storyboarding, illustrations and editing were all crafted in house. We adhered to the style of the drawings used in Victor’s previous TEDx talk animation as well as adding new elements in line with Elm Partners brand guidelines. The hand-drawn illustrations underwent a complex process to be turned into multiple-layered animations and to create motion in each individual scene. “Just wanted to let you know that we posted the ‘How Risky Is Your Stock Market?’ video on Friday, and we’ve already received a lot of positive feedback, and plenty of people are asking how we created such a great video. We know the Peregrine team went way beyond the call of duty in the work and careful thought that went into this project, and we really appreciate it. Well done, and thank you.” Victor Haghani, Founder of Elm Partners.
