Projects
  • This Way Up
    This Way UpAfter working the night shift in retail I noticed the ‘this way up’ boxes were rarely the right way up. I wanted to bring attention to this through a series of posters created using the newly learnt craft that is sign painting.
  • Print It
    Print ItPrint It is an on-the-go screen printing kit which allows those who can’t access a studio to learn about screen printing and its process. As the kit is lightweight and portable, it allows for more print opportunities.
  • Infinite Mix
    Infinite MixA catalogue for The Infinite Mix exhibition at The Store in partnership with the Haywood Gallery. A publication of 10 spreads with risograph posters to reflect how the building and curation connected 10 very different films.
  • Shopping Carts in Car Parks
    Shopping Carts in Car ParksYou’re doing your weekly shop. The carpark is packed but you’ve clocked a space. Cruisin’ down and you’re greeted with the classic lazy customer move - a shopping trolley parked right in your spot. I swear this happens to me every time and so I wanted to make a comment on it.
  • Equal Futures
    Equal FuturesPerceptions of job roles are encouraged from a young age through toys, clothes and language. After asking 100 children to draw four different job roles, the results show an almost accurate translation of existing female and male dominated professions. Equal Futures aims to change these stereotypes by raising awareness through printed tea towels, which showcase 100 children’s drawings based on four job roles; Firefighter, Dancer, Midwife and Astronaut. These will be created by and sold at schools
  • Folding Facts
    Folding FactsThe 48 hour project, folding facts is a more engaging way to take in information, within museums. These posters are self contained with instructions, and the way they have been designed, only allows for the facts to be revealed at the end. There are four origami pieces in total each ranging from simple, to more complicated designs.
