Projects
  • Dr. Martens - D&AD New Blood wood pencil winner
    Dr. Martens - D&AD New Blood wood pencil winnerI responded to the 2016 round of D&AD New Blood awards and won a wood pencil for my radio scripts for Dr. Martens. The pieces focus on the many different meanings DMs have for their wearers and are presented as a call to arms against the mainstream.
  • Calpol
    CalpolIf your kids aren't in school, they're not working hard enough towards paying for your retirement. Calpol may not cure the common cold, but it should get them feeling well enough to get their little noses back to the grindstone. Why does anyone even have kids anyway if not for monetary gain?
  • King of Shaves
    King of ShavesShaving using only water is just scraping your under-lubricated face with sharp metal. Most razors put a token hydration strip after the blades for reasons known only to them. King of Shaves added a hydration strip before the razor to give people a smooth shave even when they're only using water. I made a couple of videos to show how an extra bit of hydration helps without showing models stroking each other's smooth, smooth chins.
