About me
I'm a freelance illustrator & filmmaker based in London, UK, where I spend most of my time using visual metaphor to play with abstract concepts. I've been working as a freelance illustrator for ~9 years for all sorts of international clients and brands, including directing animation. In recent years I've made several live-action short films, one of which recently screened at London Short Film Festival 2019 (After-Party).

  • Langøra Kaffebrenneri Mural
    Langøra Kaffebrenneri MuralI have been working with Norwegian coffee roasters Langora Kaffebrenneri since 2014; together we have developed the aesthetic for the brand that's vibrant and lively, hopefully to be reflective of the wondrous parts of the world in which the coffee bean was grown. I also animated a small portion of the image as an experiment. In late 2017 they up-scaled their roasters from a small stabbur (traditional Norwegian stilted building) to a larger custom-built building in the same complex in Hjelseng
  • Book Of Bones
    Book Of BonesIllustrated non-fiction children's book published by Phaidon. It's a book of world records... of bones! Guess whose bones are the longest, shortest, heaviest, spikiest, and more. With touchable skeletons! Ten record-breaking animal bones are introduced through a series of superlatives set up as a guessing game with clues. Readers examine animals' skeletons and guess to whom they belong; the answers are revealed in vibrant, full-colour scenic habitats, with easily understood ― and humorous ― ex
  • Beery Christmas
    Beery ChristmasFor Christmas 2018 I worked on a busy illustration of a fantastical scene inside a beer warehouse, to be used as an advent calendar box packed with 24 beers. It was commissioned by French beer distributers Saveur Biere so that the adults could have a novelty treat-a-day countdown to Christmas. Not only is the image packed full of action, it also has an in-built adventure trail game. Once you’ve opened the first door, there are clues to find the next beer drawn on the inside of the cap.
