Projects
  • Living off the Loan
    Living off the LoanFor my final major project at University of Brighton, I was instructed to create a piece that I felt would showcase my skills best. Creating a cookbook allowed me to demonstrate my photography, styling, and design abilities as well as my ability to manage the entire design process from conception to print. I chose to do a cookbook specifically because of my interest in food photography. I’m particularly inspired by the work of The Gourmand, Kelsey McClellan, and Danielle Basser. In addition, th

    Qu-ear MagazineQu-ear magazine was created as a part of a brief we were given by Will Hudson, founder of Its Nice That.

I knew instantly I would be creating a film as it is another field I am really interested in working with. I’ve always had an interest in art direction for film as well as editing on Premiere Pro. My documentary, titled This is Tim, tells the story of an illustrator living with Alzheimer’s in London. Through film, photography and interviews I cre
  • Uncle Fox
    Uncle FoxA brief that was set for me during my degree was to rebrand and create vinyl artwork for an artist, Uncle Fox are a Brighton based band who I knew personally and knew wanted to try something different with their image. They wanted abstract based artwork that reflected the sound of music they produced perfectly which is where I decided to experiment with marbling inks and techniques to create a psychedelic, indie feel to the prints. Using pink inks to match the colour of their vinyl was importan
