- Harry Potter and the Cursed ChildWhile each theatrical production brings with it unique challenges and requirements, none were as intimidating as Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. To be a part of a phenomenon so huge, even in a small way, was a great experience. I was tasked with creating graphics for the ‘Hogwarts Express’ sweet trolley props, developed from the Production Designer’s “vintage British” vision. This included creating an overall Honeyduke’s brand, designing the packaging for some familiar products and inventing
- The Story FishersA children's story book project in collaboration with The National Theatre and The Story Fishers, this book was distributed to local schools which would then put on a production based on the tale and visuals. As the imagery was not to be too literal, I designed an abstract pattern based on vintage storybooks to function as a setting, then hand-painted Aztec-inspired animal glyphs to scatter throughout.

- Logo DesignLogo design distils the core themes and values of a person or company down into one identity. I view the design process not only as an exercise in clear communication and artistic interpretation, but one of problem solving. Often, I begin by considering the ideas or themes I want to convey and visualising a roadmap to achieving those ideals. These are examples I’ve created for clients ranging from individual businesses to huge corporate events. I have designed identities for clients large and sm
- Marketing DesignI’ve worked with many companies to design their marketing material, a few of which are highlighted here. In most cases this was through a winning pitch design. Many clients staged large-scale events or expos, involving a huge breadth of material including posters, leaflets, magazine adverts, website skins, event signage, billboards, brochures, advertising rollout, tickets, invitations and more. Clients such as IMG focused on tennis events at the Royal Albert Hall, The Hurlingham Club and The 02
