A journey through signwriting

The project

This is a personal project of mine. As a gift to my Granddad, I wanted to celebrate Signwriting, his profession. Signwriting is a beautiful form of art and an integral part of the history of Graphic Design. I wanted to focus on my Grandad’s long career in signwriting and to celebrate the way he learned and evolved along with the industry.

I created an editorial telling the story of my Grandad’s career through my own education of signwriting. The editorial reflects a novice learning what has become an extremely niche skill.

*Please bear in mind that this project is a physical, handmade editorial and is better seen in person

BCWA branding

Bromley & Croydon Women’s Aid (BCWA) is a refuge for women to grow, evolve and rebuild their lives. It is a charity founded in strength and bravery. It was important to BCWA that their logo would be the driving force to highlight their core brand values.

Podcast branding

Top Tier wanted their podcast to embody their values of fun, open, honest and interesting discussion. The aim was to create a place to explore conversations that may not ordinarily be appropriate or easy to discuss in a professional environment.

Lookbook design

I designed the lookbook around the strong, bold patterns which were integral to the fun brand at the time.
