I approach design with positivity and curiosity. My process is intuitive and fast, built on research, problem-solving, and trusting the first idea. I draw inspiration from art, music, nature, and travel, blending analog techniques with digital tools to create work that’s both elegant and expressive. My love for design history, ephemera, and books adds depth to my work, connecting the past and present.
Originally from the UK, I’m now based in California. My design work spans two areas: detailed, refined design for heritage and luxury brands, and playful, typographic, world-building work for music and culture. Whether working on a global campaign or a handmade book, I focus on craft, concept, and lasting impact, with a clean, modern aesthetic and a deep understanding of design principles.
Known for my cool demeanor and keen eye, I bring a calm, collaborative approach to creative leadership. I’m skilled at evolving campaigns seamlessly, balancing big ideas with careful execution. My music design work is archived in the British Library, and my projects have been featured in Wallpaper, Design Milk, Forbes, and Sound and Vision.
As a mentor, I’m dedicated to supporting the next generation of designers. I offer honest guidance and create space for new voices in the industry, whether through 'Talk to a Creative Director', internships, or visiting colleges to lead workshops and portfolio reviews.
I’m also involved in music, both as a solo artist and an active choir member. I draw inspiration from music's emotional and expressive qualities, folding these influences into an extended design practice.
Above all, I value meaningful work, lasting collaborations, and the power of design to connect ideas, cultures, and communities.
