A Visit

Papertrail’s production, A Visit is about crime, justice and childcare and who takes care of the kids when a mum gets sent to prison.

I worked closely with the show’s writer, Sian Owen , designer Lucy Hall and director Bridget Keehan to create the visual identity of the show for marketing materials that helped to inform the video design and captioning in the production along aside technical director and lighting designer Andrew Pike.

The show has been well received by audiences and critics as “A hard hitting, relevant piece for our time, excellently delivered by a talented cast and production team.”

Innovation in Music Conference 2025

Bath Spa University

I was approached to create a visual identity for the 2025 chapter of the Innovation in Music conference.
The theme was ‘Rip it up’, as in rewrite the rules and take stock of where the industry is and where practitioners want to be in the future.

I took the idea of literally smashing records and putting the pieces back together to create brand assets that were used across the website, promotional items and a notebook and pen for attendees to jot down their weekend thoughts.

Feedback from the client and attendees was that it felt fresh and exciting and a brave new direction for the branding of the annual conference.

Martha

2055. The Programme has driven Deafness underground. Using sign language is forbidden and is a radical act of protest, evoking suspicion and oppression. Is Martha’s cabaret club a welcome home for an excluded minority, a safe haven for potential terrorists or something even more sinister?
When Edith tries to infiltrate this guarded community, her world is blown apart as hidden histories, family secrets and the lies of the state are brought explosively to light.

I was asked by Taking Flight: Wales’s leading accessible theatre company, to design a print poster and accompanying digital assets to promote their latest play. They wanted something that felt sci-fi-noir but also handmade and a bit gritty. The illustration was digitally painted before typesetting the poster and programme then applying it across diffreent outputs.

Bitcoin Boi

Part modern fairy-tale, part sales pitch for a new crypto utopia, this Newport-grown story explores themes of grief, hope, and the true price of the dreams that we are sold.
The play features songs composed by Dyfan Jones with lyrics from Catherine Dyson, heavily inspired by 80s, early 90s style electro music.

I created ‘in-game’ graphics, drawing on nostalgia and a mix of 16-bit and early polygon era video games for the aestheic of the video elements in the show.

Impeleo

Business Plan

Impelo are a small but mighty arts CIO with a reputation for a socially engaged, inventive, and ambitious approach, redefining community dance and arts in a rural context. Through partnerships, community practice, participants, and audiences, they introduce fresh, exciting perspectives on dance across generations and reach those most in need—whether isolated from their community, unable to attend other arts activities, or facing barriers to participation.

Impelo approached me to design and typeset their 2023 business plan to aid further funding of the organisation. It was to be used primarily as a digital resource, and they needed a limited run printed. Using their archive of photography, I incorporated illustrative flourishes and photo treatments that followed the organisation’s brand guidelines and visual style, with free rein to bring some of my own ideas into the mix.

It is claimed that there are more food banks than McDonalds in the UK.

Working with Foleshill Community Centre, Hungry Nation Part 1 presented themes around how food poverty and access to food affects real lives of the people in Coventry.

Join us to reflect on these journeys and to debate what Coventry’s ‘Right to Food’ pledge really means.

How to be Brave

What could we achieve if only we harnessed the power of the stardust and supernovas within us?

Determined that her young daughter will never lose the powerful, fierce magic she arrived into the world with, Katie sets off on a mission to create an instruction manual titled, How To Be Brave.

This brand-new, one-woman play follows Katie’s journey as she rides her BMX around Newport to find what she’s really made of. By listening to the unheard voices of the city itself, she begins to question what the women who have gone before can teach her about how to be brave in this confusing, quick-changing world we live in.
