Last year I reached out to some friends with a brief I had written asking them to conceptualise an imaginary combat sports organisation, and create a logo for it. There was no specific requirements for the final submission except for the final designs and a folder of their research materials for the project.
I’ve been obsessed with combat sports for some years now but always felt there is so much room for exploration of such dynamic and historic art-forms. I asked fellow creatives with different levels of involvement in these sports to get varied visual perspectives. Through this project we see how different not just people’s final outcomes can be, but also their process, and ways of communication are.

Berlin-based artist lloydfears organised a party for the release of his single 'Selling England'. While the artist's performances possess a frenzied energy and structure; the song itself is of a darker tone, with themes of working class struggle and entropy. I created a visual to largely reflect this, with bold colour and noisy, distorted composition contrasting a quietly foreboding image.
In this Scottish short film, we take a glimpse into the nocturnal life of a Glasgow tenement through a series of vignettes that capture a portrait of the building's ecclectic residents. In creating a poster for this, I wanted to find a typographic pairing that reflected both the history of the building as well as the film's modern-day setting.
British tech startup 'Kestrix' maps how heat escapes from buildings to inrease energy efficiency. The logo depicts this process in simple geometric form, alongside the titular 'kestrix'. Contrasting lines are used to create a scaleable gradient effect in the style seen on heat maps. A simple typeface choice paired and calming purple purple with a bright red accent provides that appropriate sense of trust while also catching the eye.
Plan A is a carbon management platform aimed at businesses looking to report and decarbonise. Because of the nature of their target market, I developed a visual identity that emphasised the technology and science at the heart of their offering, and using minimal colour scheme that focused on a green that kept the link to sustainability and climate.
