Design Work
Commissioned Work: Prints, Products, and Site-Specific Design
Below are selected examples of my work as an artist and designer. I work across illustration, print, and site-specific commissions, with a practice rooted in narrative, place, and collaboration. My design work includes product ranges, architectural artworks, bespoke prints, and visual identities created for cultural institutions and independent producers. Past clients include Glyndebourne, Brighton Gin, West Pier Trust, and Brighton College.
With a background in architecture, I bring a thoughtful, structured approach to visual storytelling — whether designing a fabric rooted in local heritage, a festive print series, or a hand-finished label that celebrates identity and craft. Each commission is a dialogue, shaped closely with clients to produce distinctive and meaningful results.
I welcome new commissions and collaborations — from one-off pieces to larger, integrated projects.
