Projects
- FLOCK - RSA Highly CommendedI worked with the Alone Together brief, focusing in on the issue of Agricultural mental health. In response to this, I proposed the idea of a radio station called FLOCK which specialised in providing company and information for the wide demographic of the Agricultural industry.

- Wild MindsThis brief was about designing a brand for the greater good, and I decided to work with the concept of urban wildlife. Throughout my research it became apparent that many people aren’t aware of what animals live around them, in particular urban wildlife. From this I created Wild Minds, the idea behind Wild Minds is both a product, campaign and community. You buy the kit, which has a selection of ‘buds’ specialised for different species of wildlife.
