About me
An award-winning multi-disciplinary designer based in London, I specialise in print and digital with a furious love for typography.
My idea of good design is something well-crafted, delivered with clever solutions and substance, and it always starts with a good idea.
I've been very fortunate to have worked with such a range of respected clients like Redbull, Jimmy Page, Dunlop and Universal Music Group. I've picked up a Best Art Vinyl award too.
I really thrive in a collaborative and supportive environment with passionate people, where I can truly push my limits and take on new challenges. I fill my free time with food and dogs.
Projects
- Astralwerks websiteAstralwerks, over more than two decades, have pioneered the electronic music scene in the USA. With their brand in desperate need of rejuvination, the new website is setting out to transition the label to the digital world. The site highlights both Astralwerks’ upcoming artists and legacy artists in their roster, with features like music streaming service, social media sharing function, label’s history timeline and social feeds, and video player that allows customers to play, browse, and create their own playlist. Options to buy music and follow label’s social channels are easily accessable to increase sales and online presence.
- Rudimental 'We The Generation'Digital campaign to launch Rudimental’s highly anticipated second album ‘We The Generation’. Fans are encouraged to upload photos to create their own personalised album cover, then share with their friends across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, with a chance to win a signed vinyl album featuring their own artwork. Built for desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, when launched in May 2015, it has become hugely successful amongst their ten thousands of fans. Designed at The Creative Corporation.
- Dunlop Great FightbacksIn collaboration with Ketchum, a digital campaign is created to promote Great Fightbacks stories throughout motorsports history. Fans are encouraged to explore, vote for, and share their favourite Fightback stories. Following strict Dunlop's brand guideline, the campaign website is designed to cater for both casual and die-hard motorsports fan, displaying both short descriptions and videos, and full story essays. The user journey is streamlined to allow simple voting process.
- Jimmy Page Sound TracksSound Tracks: Deluxe boxset brings together two of Jimmy Page’s compositions for the film Lucifer Rising and Death Wish II, along with additional archive material for the first time. The signed boxset is restricted to just 109 copies, and consisted of four vinyls, four CDs, a signed album booklet, and a limited edition screen-printed Gustave Doré’s Eagle. The edition is completed by a luxury black leather box with debossed detail. Original illustrations were created to accompany a written track-by-track insight by Jimmy Page of the soundtracks recorded in the late 70s and early 80s. Speaking about the release, Jimmy explains; “The archive material and work included here serve as an illustration of the ongoing process at the time of these two projects.” Designed at The Creative Corporation.
- Grand Union BarsGrand Union Bars are venues with vintage interiors, decadent outdoor spaces, American diner food, unique cocktails, and a party reputation, with eight locations across London. The project took on planning, designing, and developing a digital strategy. The website focuses on delicious food photography, lively venue shots, animated loading gif, and neon icons to match their quirky interior theme. The site structure is straightforward, offering quick access to menus, opening times, and booking form. Our strategy has significantly boosted their online presence, advance booking, and venue hiring. Designed at The Creative Corporation.
- David Gilmour 'Rattle That Lock'The concept and production was created for David Gilmour’s 4th solo studio album, in collaboration with Aubrey Powell from the legendary Hipgnosis studio. The cover features a landscape photograph by Rupert Truman, with photo-manipulated and digitally-painted corvidaes escaping a 3D modelled cage. The theme was rolled out for the packaging of CD, Deluxe, and Vinyl editions, featuring original artwork, and photographs taken by Kevin Westenberg and Polly Samson. Designed at The Creative Corporation.
