- Costa Rica Playing CardsZona Tropical Press, a Costa Rican publisher, commissioned me to design a deck of playing cards showcasing the country's wildlife. I developed the concept, grouping animals into suits and created a bespoke packaging design incorporating an orange seal inspired by Costa Rica's coat of arms.

- AR Installation for Welsh National OperaLondon-based visual artist, Xavier Segers was selected to illustrate the characters and scenes from The Cunning Little Vixen. The final result is a striking visual universe that stands strong both in the physical world and in combination with augmented reality.

- EE BAFTAS 2020Client: British Academy Film Awards Agency: Gramafilm Illustration + Graphic Design: Xavier Segers Every win is a journey - is the campaign concept for the EE BAFTAS 2020.

- Peace to UkraineI was truly inspired by the brave and strong Ukrainian people during the ongoing Russian invasion. I wanted to spread a positive message of hope that could be shared through social channels. Transforming their national coat of arms, Princely State Symbol of Volodymyr the Great or colloquially called the tryzub into a dove of hope. Let us hope that things de-escalate quickly with no more bloodshed. A big thank you to Eastern Europe for helping and welcoming all in need.
- Can we hug?I was contacted by TBWA Belgium to create an illustration for an awareness campaign. Their client Plan International, wanted a national conversation discussing when and in which situations is it appropriate to touch or have intimate contact? Highlighting that some people (un)consciously may abuse their position or power to step out of line. Even if intentions are good, it's good to consider certain boundaries. https://www.behance.net/gallery/160583959/Can-we-hug
