Welcome.

Originally started as a private study journal for my MA, this blog has grown to become a place where I can share the thoughts, influences and creative experiments that are inspiring and informing my work as a designer and creative problem-solver.

Have a click around – hopefully you’ll find something that makes you think or better still makes you smile! If you think we may be able to work together to create something amazing, please get in touch.

A Note On Colour

There seems to have been a sudden injection of bright, juicy - almost saccharine - colour into my journal over the last couple of days… and I’m really enjoying it!

I’ve always had a strong awareness of colour and it plays an important part in the design choices I make; yet in my commercial capacity, opportunities to really push the boundaries and have fun with colour have been relatively limited. In mainstream graphic design, colour is used consciously and intelligently but it tends to be treated with caution – usually resulting in safe and sparing application of colour.

This MA could be my opportunity to reacquaint myself with a more experimental, expressive and dominant use of colour.
