Projects
  • Browns Fashion
    Browns FashionDoodle Monster is a series of original characters I designed as part of the creative launch project for Browns Fashion Kidswear. The monsters were inspired by various monsters from children’s literature and myths. The monsters are brought to life illustrated and animated on model and still life photography.

  • Mask of Hope
    Mask of HopeMask of Hope is a two part animated film I created for the World Food Organisation (WFP) end of year appeal campaign. Since the start of the global pandemic face masks have become a symbol of our times. The design brief I took on was to incorporate face mask with hand drawn frame animations to create a story around the harsh realities facing people in countries of conflict and COVID-19. The two animations are themed around hunger and conflict.

  • Flyte
    FlyteFlyte is a new range of clean energy drinks. Their main target market are people looking for a lift of energy but are concerned about artificial ingredients. However their current brand is very dark and chemical looking. My re-design of the brand centers around ‘a burst of clean energy’, by combining urban and natural elements with very colourful palette.
