Cannes Young Lions '24 Entry
I was selected to participate in the Cannes Young Lions 2024 competition along with my friend and colleague, Georgia Rhodes-Bell (Account Director, PR).
Whilst our submission didn't qualify for the finals this time around, the final pitch was highly commended for creativity, and it was an honor to represent our agency.

Where We Chased Our Dreams
I created a book for my partner, documenting a 3-month travel experience
we took in 2023. We turned our savings into wish fulfilment, memories
with friends, and completely unnecessary souvenirs.

Goodnight Thea, Goodnight Sun
I illustrated a published book with children's author, Peter Sherwood-King.
The story follows Thea and her dad as they venture to the 'Otherworld', where they encounter an overgrown teddy bear, a Lullabyaphant, and a grumpy sun.

Dreamchasers – Manga project
Over the past few years, I have been writing and illustrating my own shōjo manga, a Japanese-influenced comic. The story follows a lacklustre student who gains the ability to shape the future by manipulating events through her dreams. Now it's up to her and her friends to figure out how to shape her destiny.

Wip3out Tribute
Inspired by the legacy of The Designer's Republic and the brand direction they lead for the 'Wip3out' game franchise, I developed a series of artwork to explore the design in my own style.
