Rhubaba Gallery and Studios



Over the years artists from the studio have contacted me to produce vibrant and evocative print materials to support their work on show at the gallery.

This has ranged from 8 page folding print items, to long form collections of artists work sold as show accompaniments.



Creating these booklets for a range of artists meant finding a way to showcases an artist's work in a visually appealing and engaging way.


This included selecting and arranging images of the artist's work, collating descriptive text about the pieces and the artist's process, and choosing a layout and design that enhances the overall aesthetic of the content.


The goal - to create a cohesive and compelling representation of the artist's style and vision.

Christmas Card Designs



One of the challengers all creatives face is to develop originality in area that have been massively oversaturated.

An area of this I have succeeded in consistently is Christmas cards, an unassuming task with many clichéd pitfalls.



Each of the surrounding designs uses a unique solution to wish happy holidays.

Whether a die-cut folding card that gives perspective to famous skylines, a silver foiled snowflake meticulously crafted from the silhouettes of the cities the client resides in, or a laser cut perspex slotted mailer.


The outcomes all display an accomplished ability to navigate the waters of unoriginal stereotypes often found in design during the holiday period.

Packing Design & Artworking



As and agency freelancer, I worked on a range of packaging designs for our clients such as Arwa (Coca-Cola), Cadbury's and Fazer.


For Arwa, we have designed sleek and modern labels that prominently displayed green elements to promote their commitment to the environment.


For Fazer, we created more traditional and sophisticated packaging that incorporates elegant fonts and muted colors. Taking a more organic and natural approach, featuring earthy tones and photography representing of ingredients.



For Cadbury's we worked with classical christmas elements to create a rang of classy but fun designs.


In addition, we have also developed eco-friendly packaging options for the brands, utilizing recycled materials and featuring minimalistic designs.


Overall, each of our packaging options catered to the specific branding and image of each client, while also considering current trends and consumer preferences.

Gilson Gray



Creating motion graphics for Gilson Gray involved designing and animating an array of visual elements to communicate information about the law firm's services and values in an engaging and visually appealing way.


These went on to be used in promotional videos, social media content, and the company's website to showcase the core values that Gilson Gray believes sets them apart from other law firms
