Projects credited in

• Christie's International Real EstateLayout design and artwork for listings section of magazine.
• Sacred NoiseBrand identity, print and signage for Sacred Noise – an art exhibition at Christie’s. The creation of the identity was inspired by religious art and Christian architecture. In turn this inspired my approach to the materials. The exhibition book is cloaked in an extra fine linen and features a foiled colorplan tip-in in the shape of a window.
• Christie's Lates / The Outnet Mirror RoomA mind-bending, seven sided, kaleidoscope mirror room, that we designed and made with Kerry Hughes for fashion brand The Outnet. This was used to display designer footware at a "Christie's Lates" event at their Central London auction house.
