Projects
  • Illustration Showreel
    Illustration ShowreelA collection of illustration work.
  • Nike Flight Ball Animation
    Nike Flight Ball AnimationNike released the perfect football in the form of Flight and I just had to create something to celebrate it! My focus was to make use of the design elements of the Flight ball.

  • Illustrated Photography Series
    Illustrated Photography SeriesA series of illustrated photography in collaboration with Dan Barnett. Using Dan’s wonderful photography as a setting, I let my illustrative mind wander to create new moments/stories.

  • Ikea Mobile Ad Campaign Pattern
    Ikea Mobile Ad Campaign PatternI was approached by IKEA to create a repeating background pattern for their ‘back to uni’ mobile ad campaign.

  • Play Mural
    Play MuralWhy work when you can play? I created this typographic mural for my daughter, Etta. It’s full of her favourite toys, food, activities and a load of things she’ll explore as she grows. Not only does it help her to learn words and identify objects but it serves as a reminder to not take life too seriously!
