- Sam Ashby, Website DesignSam Ashby is a highly established graphic designer and more recently film-maker. Over the past 15 years he has created movie posters for films such as: We Need To Talk About Kevin, God’s Own Country, Frances Ha and many more. One challenge in the creation of this site was showcasing both the artist’s design work and film work equally. I used bright colours to separate different projects and pages, and created a smooth page overlay when you click into a project. To demonstrate the fluidity of hi
- Picasso Ceramics, Identity and Exhibition DesignCoinciding with 20th Century Week in London, Christie’s presented an auction of unique ceramics, editioned pieces, tiles and medallions by Pablo Picasso. The identity was inspired by Picasso’s depiction of his own name, using lower case ‘i’s. As this auction was aimed at new collectors as well as established ones I chose the modern sans-serif typeface Futura. This gave the exhibition an inviting and welcoming feeling appropriate for new buyers. The identity came in three different colours chosen
- David Hockney, Book DesignIn 1968, the then 30-year-old artist David Hockney began a series of seven monumental canvases, each 7 ft by 10 ft.

Creative Director and Graphic DesignerInHouse Records

InHouse Records is the world’s first fully functioning record label to operate inside and outside of UK prisons. The aim of the label is to create safe and enabling environments for individuals to better their technical and social skills through music.
I work as creative director and sole designer of Aux magazine, a weekly magazine that reaches over 2,500 prisoners across the UK & USA through nine separate prisons and correctional facilities. The magazine was born out of lockdown and us not being allowed inside the prisons anymore, therefore we came up with the idea to help the prisoners, many of which were stuck inside their cell for almost 24 hours a day in lockdown.
The zine appears to be like a music magazine, but has been curated specially to increase literacy, develop new skills, and entertain.
