I was approached by Adelaide-based creative agency Parallax Design to develop a label range for their client, Oxford Landing Wines. Parallax and the team at Oxford Landing were drawn to my illustration style, seeing it as the perfect fit for their new “Riverlife” range and gave me plenty of creative freedom throughout the concept development process. It was one of those projects where trust in the creative process led to something pretty special, with the final label range going on to take home Gold at the 2023 Harpers Design Awards.
