SELECTED WORK





Neurons

IIdentity and logo for a bi-annual club night at Sneaky Pete’s
(2025)

Raising funds for mental health charities, the multi-sensory event series is defined by a typography-led identity. The visual language uses hand-drawn forms inspired by neural networks, balancing organic expression with the energy of the brand’s direction.

Texture Summit Poster Series


Ongoing series of event posters for a vinyl-focused club night in San Francisco
(2023–present)

Each design responds to the specific mood and context of the event rather than a fixed visual system. The series holds tension between structure and looseness through the use of type, colour and texture.

See more from the series.




Selene Pop-up

Visual identity and printed materials for a food pop-up at Newbarns Brewery
(2023)

Developed in collaboration with Phoebe Moon, Adam Hepburn and Maddy Crowther. The work mirrors the understated tone of the hospitality through a mix of handwritten titles, quiet type and kitchen photography.

Meld Record Label Identity


Visual identity and artwork for an electronic music label founded in Aberdeen
(2021–present)

Built in collaboration with Adam Hepburn, the system combines industrial forms with quiet utility. The identity is designed to support the label's underground techno sound without defining it.

On The Record Vol. 1

Editorial design and visual direction for a research publication by BUMP Agency
(2022)

A printed report exploring how brands can invest in community. Created in collaboration with Adam Hepburn, the visual system blends data-led layouts, cut-out photography, bold type and scanned textures.
