BODY LANGUAGE
Body Language Visual Branding (2022 - Current)
Body Language is a queer, femme-ran club collective hosting parties primarily in Berlin.
I was approached to build the collective’s branding from scratch, logo and all. The brief was to capture the attitudes of the all-femme/queer team that run the night and their belief in creating a fun, accessible party for (but not exclusively) femmes.
I continue to have the complete trust of the collective and the creative freedom to create any world I like with each event, with the posters having a distinct sharp, energetic feel to reflect the bookings at each party, the only connection being the use of pinks and purples .
Femmes to the Front (2022)
This was a commission to create an applique tapestry for the Body Language party to illstrate their ethos ‘Femmes to the Front’.
NIKE
NIKE Euros (2024)
NIKE EURO 2024 National Kits Global Campaign starring footballers Kylian Mbappe, Phil Foden, Jamal Musiala and Virgil Van Dijk.
I was commissioned to transform the still assets that were displayed on billboards around London, Paris and Germany into animated counterparts for the OOH LED billboard in Ku’damm, Berlin. The brief was to make the animated type energetic and impactful, with the resting state being that of their still asset counterparts.
NIKE x Jordan Zion (2022)
Commission to promote the new Jordan Zion 2 “Draft Night” sneakers. Given a single asset of the basketball player Zion Williamson, I treated the image into the likeness of a peaceful, zen-like figure levitating from the floor.
CENTRE POMPIDOU
Studio 13/16 (2024)
Approached by Centre Pompidou, my series of photographs was featured in the centre’s new wing, Studio 13/16. This unique place is both a space for artistic creation for young people with artists and collectives, as well as a place of socialization for the teenagers.
The original series was my first exploration into post-production VFX with my photography, inspired by the works of Cindy Sherman, Inez and Vinoodh and Gillian Wearing.
Using myself and my housemate Michael Naughton as models, I created fictitious characters, caught in a moment of animation and emotion, plucked from their habitats and displayed like wax figures.
This series is indicative of how I work with photography, often playing with the uncanny valley and how far I can push post-production VFX whilst maintaining a semblance of realism to the work.
BULLY MAGAZINE
Bully Magazine Issue 1 (2021)
Working closely with the photographers Daan Dam and Olive Duran, I was briefed as the sole post-production artist with elevating the raw analogue images to a more surreal, bizarre level, which I achieved by playing with dramatic perspectives and melancholic auras that envelop the models.
The image with the model Pricilla was used as one of three front covers that Bully Magazine published for their first issue.
Bully is a Toronto-based fashion, art and culture publication. Created to provide a much-needed platform for rising creatives; a revolt to an industry that shuts more doors than it opens.
STUDIO MOROSS
Studio Moross x Riot Games (2024)
Working closely with the Studio Moross team, I was tasked to help with the promotional material across several platforms, assisting in touch-ups, various asset treatments, and giving general insights on how to achieve dynamic and engaging images to be used as promotional material.
BMW
BMW x KITH (2024)
This brief was to showcase the BMW x KITH collaboration at the Art Basel Miami Beach entrance hall by designing a backdrop to give a sneak peek of the collaboration with KITH to pique people's interest.
The idea was to tease the KITH XM without showing it in its entirety by focussing on the‘KITH’ logo that lights up once the headlights are turned on.
CIRCUS MAGAZINE
Circus Magazine Issue 2 (2021)
I was selected to submit a single peice of work for Issue 2, ‘Nonsense’ for Jackson Bowley’s fashion publication ‘Circus Magazine’.
Inspired by the sun-drenched figures in the works of Martin Parr, Anais Boileau and Nadia Lee Cohen, I wanted a saturated, raw but playful image that captures a woman who lives for a tan, the foil tray cutting into her neck, framing the head perfectly in the centre.
I was both the photographer and post-production artist for the project.
Circus is a bold and anarchic celebration of beauty photography. Comprised of 20 A1-sized posters – each created by a different artist – the publication is intended to be ripped apart and stuck onto walls.
POWERPLAY
Branding Identity for PowerPlay club (2022 - Current)
The creative process in designing posters for PowerPlay is similar to many of the other clubs that I work with.
I have helped build the PowerPlay visual brand to a position of strength and professionalism that reflects the calibre of artists that they book for each party.
The consistent design element is dark, playful and not too serious. Each club night is themed, and this theme is echoed throughout how we run the night, starting from the initial graphic design, to the decor and even the lighting setup.
CALL SUPER
‘Swallow Me’ Music Video
I had free creative license to make a music video for the DJ and producer Call Super.
Using Photoshop and After Effects, I wanted to build a seemingly endless fractal universe with layers that dissolve in and out, giving the experience of having a soft, surreal environment slowly wash over the viewer and swallow them into saturated bliss.

FOTOGRAFISKA
Fotografiska Berlin Opening (2023)
Working closely with the Fotografiska Social Media team, I was briefed on a multitude of tasks, mainly video editing and creating motion design assets for socials to promote the opening of the Berlin gallery, as well as to promote the artists themselves.
I also created a soft animated background for speakers at the opening night, along with videos and animated LED screens inspired by James Turrell that were used for the wrap up party.
