I am a graphic artist, designer and visiting lecturer at Birmingham City University. My work intersects with the disciplines of music and performance, working extensively as a graphic artist and designer alongside record labels and musical artists. My design approaches have a strong DIY ethic and style, exploring limitation as powerful creative tool through embracing the tactility, imperfection and often-accidental quality of analogue processes and obsolete technologies.

Client — Setting Son Records Visual identity / logo design for Setting Son Records — May 2020. The logomark reflects both a sun setting and partially obscured by clouds and the double S alliteration of the label’s name. Throughout the identity Gill Sans has been used to reflect the extensive use of the typeface on the classic Decca, EMI and Parlophone record sleeves and liner notes of the 1960s to establish the label as being in that same lineage of British labels and to evoke the romance associated with rock and roll releases of that era. https://static1.squarespace.com/static/60a67fbc9bd6bb2e50995cc6/t/60ae640af7c0106012a3ccc5/1622287033925/echoes+of+the+city+august+2020+double+page+spread+smaller.jpg work - SETTING SON RECORDS Setting Son Records August 2020 Mixtape — August 2020.
