Founders of Wild deodorant, Fred & Harry, approached me to bring life to their brand and help them launch in the UK. I crafted a Kickstarter page for Wild that saw them exceed the funding target. Alongside creating marketing materials for use on social media and an Investor Deck that is now helping them develop a new design using no plastic packaging in the future products through potential collaborations.

A colleague had this gem of an idea, we costed it, looked at the logistics and interviewed drinkers and publicans. I designed and packaged the concept, from box construction to finished graphics. Each box was sent to a leading crisps manufacturer as an entrepreneurial venture that you might see in a pub near you soon!

One of London’s leading hair stylists, Andrew Barton, wanted to extend his product range into the ‘natural’ sector. Using minimalist type, alongside some attractive imagery, I crafted some products that would truly stand out from the crowd. The ‘Naturally Collection’ is a range of naturally-inspired, paraben-free, salon-professional hair care products that create outstanding results and is out in stores now.

The ‘Buy Your Own’ concept came about after many a dispute over products in the bathroom. Its firm message is delivered in elegant, hand-drawn calligraphy that screams luxury and would be sure to stand out in any bathroom. The ‘Buy Your Own’ range was also featured in a packaging book, celebrating novel designs and unique cosmetics on the market.

‘Made on Farms. Not in Factories’ was the aptly named phrase that sat with this cola brand, generated as a PR stunt that would dupe the reader into believing such a product existed on April Fools’ Day 2010. It was the most read article on Brand Republic and Campaign, also featuring on many other creative sites with on accompany wanting to take the product to market.

Creo Print and Production wanted an unusual concept for their Christmas gift to send to clients. Taking inspiration from retro toy graphics and combining some playful DIY decorations in a screen printed box was greatly received. With so many thank you gifts sent over the Christmas period, this one had to stand out and be testament to the quality of Creo’s work, alongside the eye-catching graphics.

I’m particularly found of home brewing and generally experimenting with whatever strange ingredients I have to hand. For each cider, wine, or spirit I brew up I craft a special label that takes influence from it’s ingredients and the impression that each drink left with me. Not aimed at any market demographic but just a bit of fun I have with type. More to come soon!
