    uniE621 TAIT – Marketing & Brand Communications
    I worked with TAIT’s marketing team to deliver a wide range of brand-led design assets across digital and print. TAIT is a global leader in live experience and performance technology, creating staging, automation and scenic solutions for concerts, theatre, and large-scale events. As a Senior Designer, I was responsible for producing high-quality creative within a tightly controlled brand system. This included social media campaigns, digital banners, Instagram advertising, pitch decks and printed materials such as leaflets and marketing collateral.

    uniE621 The Cowshed – UX & Digital Design
    A UX and interface design project for a holiday rental property, focused on improving the guest experience through clear, accessible digital information. The Cowshed app was developed as a central hub for guests, bringing together booking details, property information, and practical guidance typically found in printed welcome packs. The primary goal was to simplify access to essential information, particularly time-sensitive needs such as WiFi access on arrival. The design prioritises clarity and hierarchy, ensuring key information is immediately visible and easy to navigate. Content is structured around real user behaviour, reducing friction and improving usability across mobile devices. As Designer, I defined the user experience, information architecture, and interface, translating user needs into a functional and intuitive digital solution. uxdesign uidesign productdesign digitaldesign interfacedesign userexperience appdesign
    uniE621 Railway Prints – Retail Product Design
    A collection of illustrated railway prints designed as commercial products for online retail. The series focuses on iconic British stations and heritage railways, translating architectural detail and atmosphere into clean, graphic compositions. Each piece is carefully constructed using simplified forms, balanced colour palettes, and strong perspective to create visually striking and recognisable designs. The work was developed with a clear commercial focus, considering how each image would perform as a product across digital platforms, including thumbnail visibility, print clarity, and customer appeal. As both Designer and Illustrator, I created the artwork and managed its presentation as part of an online retail offering, including product imagery, layout, and visual consistency across the collection. The prints are sold through my Shopify store, forming part of a wider range of location-based illustration products.
    uniE621 Gods of Synth – Illustration Series
    A series of illustrated works exploring the culture, aesthetics, and influence of synthesised music. Gods of Synth is an ongoing personal project inspired by electronic sound, analogue technology, and the visual language surrounding synth-driven music. The work blends portrait illustration with layered graphic elements, drawing on themes of signal interference, digital distortion, and modular systems. This piece references key figures within electronic music, using bold colour blocking and fragmented composition to reflect the structure and energy of synthesised sound. As both Illustrator and Designer, I developed the concept and visual language, creating a body of work that balances graphic clarity with experimental composition, capturing the intersection of music, technology, and visual identity.
    uniE621 Great Film Directors – Illustration Series
    The project features a collection of stylised illustrations representing 50+ influential film directors, from classic auteurs to contemporary filmmakers. Each portrait was designed to capture the essence of the director through simplified geometric forms, bold colour palettes, and subtle visual references to their cinematic style. The book itself is a design-led reference guide combining illustration and editorial content, offering an accessible overview of key figures in world cinema. A–Z Great Film Directors includes directors such as Akira Kurosawa, David Lynch, Kathryn Bigelow and Wong Kar-Wai, highlighting their impact on film history. As Illustrator and Designer, I developed a consistent visual system across the entire series, ensuring each portrait was recognisable, distinctive, and cohesive within the wider collection. This involved balancing likeness with abstraction, and creating a flexible style that could adapt across a wide range of personalities and eras. The final work was used across print layouts throughout the publication and as part of the book’s overall visual identity.
