    For the last 5 years I have been Atlantic Records UK’s in-house Senior Designer / Art Director, building brands and experiences from the ground up for acts such as Ed Sheeran, Stormzy, Mahalia, HONNE, James Blunt, Plan B, and many more. With the wider creative team and my designers we have seen huge success in creating immersive campaigns across offline, social and video platforms. Some highlights include launching 47 global Ed Sheeran merch pop-ups simultaneously, preparing visuals for Stormzy’s historical Glastonbury set and creating a game-changing and infectious visual language for HONNE.
