Projects
The NYCI had developed an 8 step took kit to inclusive youth work. The programme was designed to ensure that the Youth workers were well equipped to work with the youth they would be assigned. The challenge of this brief was to distill the 8 step programme into 3 key messages that summed up the toolkit. This poster series would be put up in the various youth centres as a reminder of the core messages the youth workers hard to keep in mind to ensure an inclusive environment. I worked closely with the team to develop the copy and the 3 designs we created.
I created a mural for Pulse college to bring a sense of playful, joyful energy to brighten up the student canteen.

Life lines is a comical, observational, diary of personified emotions. Exploring themes of mental health, daily observation and the joys of living, all seen through the lens of an artist.
In 2018 I there was a resurgence of the hand lettering moment. When I saw it I thought to myself I would love to be a part of that. So I developed a 30 day project. A the end of the 30 days it turned into Keep At It a book of inspirational quotes and thoughts based on my experience in the creative industry over the last decade. It will help you to kickstart your thinking process to get you to start your own business.
