Featured work
Client
Penrose Photography
Project
Logo Design & Brand Identity
While his portfolio spans landscapes, portraits, weddings, and events, it was Jamie's passion for pet photography that inspired the creative direction for his brand identity. At its heart we created a rose-shaped logomark formed from softened animal facial features, with a central flash carving a camera’s lens and thorn-like accents. The logomark and visual identity is accompanied by a bespoke logotype, autumnal colour palette, and dynamic grid system, supporting his work across a range of print digital placements.

Coreix Limited
Project
Rebrand
Working with Offshore International, I led the creative direction and design of Coreix Limited's rebrand as providers of high-availability hosting solutions for businesses worldwide. At the center of the identity is an evolved logomark, uniting the four core pillars of their brand promise. With holographic colours, imagery and mosiac textures, the new identity highlights Coreix's out-of-this-world digital offering and positions the brand as industry-leaders in fully managed IT services.

Project
Branding, Illustration & Packaging
Eddie Bear Honey Company are big advocates for environmental sustainability and produce the highest quality small-batch honey sourced from their local apiaries in Nashville. Together, we developed a warm and approachable mascot to embody and communicate the brand's commitment to quality produce and environmental responsibility, appealing to a diverse audience from health and eco-conscious consumers to those who appreciate the craft of local, artisan products.

Envirorally
Project
Brand Identity
Envirorally launched in 2021 to bring classic car rallying into the zero-carbon era. With plans to host major international rally events across Europe, Envirorally needed a premium identity to attract seasoned car enthusiasts. Drawing inspiration from vintage autosport magazines and the varying forms of rally routes, we crafted a Bauhaus-inspired logotype and visual identity that honors classic car culture while celebrating Envirorally's vision for an innovative future in motorsport.
