“NOT DRINKING TONIGHT”
A cheeky approach to sobriety
"NOT DRINKING TONIGHT" is a non alcoholic beverage brand dedicated to being brutally honest, changing the perception of low alcohol consumption through unexpected humour.

This project aims to steer conversation away from interrogation when choosing not to drink, using excuses such as "Mum Said No" directly printed on products throughout the entire campaign.

Tennis Racket Exploration
Modelling Exercise 

Decided to play around and model some tennis rackets, and mess about with some basic hair systems and motion blur. I found using a low aperture and cranking a bladed diaphragm combined with the optix denoiser created some interesting results!

STACKY

A collaboration between myself and fellow designer Archie Paxton , creating an all-in-one recycled modular storage brand, The Stacky.

We were tired of serious, boring and dull furniture concepts, so decided to create a very "out there" brand and product using recycled plastics inspired by old supermarket-storage crates.

The Stacky takes eco-anarchism to a new level, caring not about people's feelings, but only about sustainable practice. We created a range of touchpoints from product systems, animation, type design, physical print and OOH ads.
