I'm a Manchester graphic designer, illustrator and conceptual thinker who has over two years' experience freelancing for a video production company. When I'm not doing art and design, I can be found playing with my band or exploring the oceans.
A proud, self-proclaimed Jack, I'd rather experience a multitude of media and processes and do them well, than to focus on a single one. Over the years I've done everything from drawing, painting and silkscreen printing to sculpture, photography, installation and animation.
Driven by the expression of ideas, I'm a firm believer in designing for the world we wish to live in. After experiencing the breath-taking beauty of the open ocean, I'm passionate about the power of design to question and change behaviours for the betterment of our planet.
If any of this resonates with you or your goals, then get in touch; I'd love to get to know you.

After researching other kombucha brands I found there was a tendency to push it as a health-boosting tonic and whilst it is agreed that there could be potential benefits, there's also very little scientific evidence to back up some of the more extravagant claims. With this in mind, I decided to flip the medicinal trend on its head and poke fun at it with a series of bombastic health claims, realised through a fun combination of wacky illustrati
