The new venue offers a range of events, live music, cabaret, stand-up comedy, theatre, dance, family events etc. In collaboration with Jessica Richer, I designed all the opening campaign, including designs for posters, leaflets, buses, billboards, social media post and stories, menus, adverts etc.

Concept design and creation of the look and feel as part of the interpretive plan for the Special forces exhibition at the National Army Museum in London. The design played with the secretive aspects of the special forces‘ job such as the fact that some information was confidential, and created a strong identity by having a very contrasted and limited colour palette. We also created different atmospheres to immerse the visitor into the different environments.

Art direction, illustrations and exhibition design in collaboration with Richard Pepper (3D Design) For Barker Langham.

The temporary exhibition was created to commemorate the 800th anniversary of the death of King John at the castle, where he died in in 1216.

This exhibition project was really challenging. The space was very small (23m2) and we were unable to touch the historic fabric and surrounding castle wall, so we designed a bespoke system that allowed us to display interpretation whilst ensuring the castle walls behind were still clearly visible. We had no collection with which to tell the story and a small budget, so we used illustration to tell King John story, which appealed to children and adults alike. 

We presented this project at the Museum and Heritage show in May 2018.

Ostara is a Garden Design company that specialise in creating innovative and beautiful gardens, transforming outdoor spaces using elegant planting and natural materials. They commissioned me to create their logo and identity.

The Logo is based on the idea of spring and the natural cycle of a plant. There are several levels of narratives in this symbol. From a distance it could be a flower, symbol of Spring, but the highlighted petal reveals a drifting seed in the wind or a sprout depending on the angle. Sprout, flower and drifting seed, the symbol represents the full cycle of a plant in a loop from the begining of life to its journey seeking a place to take root and flourish once again.

The sprout can be also be used separately to create some graphic elements or a simple pattern.

Identity for an event at Qasr Al-Hukm.

The "Look and Feel" concept for this event revolves around the theme of revealing and disappearing elements, creating a narrative that ties the event to the palace's architecture. The palace, inspired by the Islamic tradition of 'hidden architecture,' serves as a backdrop where stories are unveiled. Videos will intermittently appear and disappear within the palace's structure, enhancing the sense of discovery. As visitors journey through the palace, they transition from public (visible) areas to private (hidden) spaces, further emphasizing the contrast between what is shown and what is concealed.

The graphic principles and design language are also very much inspired by the idea of connections. The connection between digital (AV) and physical (architecture) is represented by the choice of modern vectorial lines meeting traditional patterns. The connection between past and present is reflected in the font pairing that embodies these ideas. Additionally, the connection between people and the palace is illustrated by overlapping shapes, symbolizing the interaction and integration of visitors with the space.
