About me
North London based Graphic Designer / Creative Artworker with extensive design experience working with both emerging brands and start-ups across wellness, beverages and finance to leading global brands skincare and beyond. With studio and in-house experience across digital, print, packaging, POS and OOH I am a keen listener, an analytical thinker and a vocal contributor. Conceptually minded yet rationale focused, with a knowledge that compelling narratives speak to, and build audiences, I enjoy the process of shaping ideas / collaborating with fellow creative minds as much as honing the final detail. Aesthetically focused, brand conscious and commercially aware of when to disrupt, reinvent or gently refine, depending on a brands needs, I approach briefs with and an open, adventurous mind, grounded by rational thought.
Projects

With this in mind the look and feel reflects the need to maintain an element of heritage but with a craft beer aesthetic that has become

In this project my two primary aims were to create a logo and brand look that is simplistic, modern whilst also maintaining a nod to the current identity. I chose vibrant red to convey both passion & positivity as well as professionalism. For font use I opted to combine a clean grotesk font to contrast the chunky serif logo that together balance a c
  • Sevenstar Brand Identity
    Sevenstar Brand IdentityBrand Identity for Financial Consultancy. For this project the aim was to create a fresh identity that is simultaniously cutting edge & modern, as well as discerning in appearance. Developing the flame icon to communicate both growth and prosperity, I chose to set this against a dark green with white text and liberal gold foiling to convey a refined appearance.
  • Peak Cafe Branding
    Peak Cafe BrandingThis project was a pitch to a popular coffee house located on the Island of Koh Lanta, Thailand. The pitch was a new logo and development of brand identity. I opted for a simple yet recognisable type-based logo combined with a wavy pattern and red hills, which are representative of the cafe’s location situated between the coast and nearby inland hills.
