Projects
- Lunar New Year Inspired Hotel Chocolat PackagingA self-initiated brief to design a Lunar New Year inspired packaging collection for Hotel Chocolat, displaying the rich culture of China.

- Walks with Francesca BrandingBranding a small dog walking and sitting business. The brief asked for a fun, friendly and bold branding incorporating the owner's French Bulldog as the main focus of the logo.

Each cocktail illustration draws upon the colours of the ingredients in that cocktail.
- Moonstruck Chocolate Co. RebrandA self-initiated rebrand of Moonstruck Chocolate Co, reinvigorating the brand. The main aim with this rebrand was to incorporate the brand's name into the design work, and give the brand a luxurious side that would make the customer feel indulged and grand. In order to draw upon the name of the brand itself, I researched into alchemy and horoscope symbolism, drawing the two together to create celestial and chemical illustrations that reflected the flavours of the chocolate bars.
