Brand · Graphic · Illustration · Strategy
I build first brands for early-stage founders, small shops and cultural projects — identity, graphic systems, illustration and the strategy that holds them together. No committees. No filler. One designer, accountable end to end.

Call, written proposal, 50% up front. You get one direction developed properly — not four half-ideas to choose between.
A decision-maker in the room, honest budget, and access to whoever knows the customer best.
Spec work, contests, and "make it pop" without a brief. Happy to recommend someone else.
Designer · Illustrator · Zine-maker
I run a one-person studio for people building their first real thing. Most of my clients have never commissioned design before — so the job is half craft, half translation: turning a founder's half-sentence into a system their team can actually use.
I draw everything myself. Illustration is not a garnish here; it's usually the part that makes a small brand recognisable next to competitors with ten times the budget.
Outside client work I self-publish zines — short, printed, cheap, opinionated. They're where the riskier ideas get tested before they earn a place in someone's identity.

Short, cheap, printed. Each one is a place to be wrong loudly before an idea goes anywhere near a client's brand.

Tell me what you're building and roughly what you can spend. If it's a fit I'll send a written proposal; if it isn't, I'll say so and point you somewhere better.
Twenty minutes, no pitch. Bring the messy version.
