Here are some stills and clips from my recent geometric wall art piece created for a London home 🟦

This paper geometric wall art was designed for a London residence. I really enjoyed making this piece. While I often work with brand clients, it was refreshing to explore a different approach with this private commission. I believe it can complement many different spaces.

The artwork is made entirely from GF Smith, using in various shades of blue. It was finished with anti-reflective UV glass and mounted in a white frame.

Feel free to contact me if you're interested in commissioning a piece like this!

Elizabeth Scarlett Chelsea in Bloom 🌸✂️

Stills of my papercraft floral display at Peter Jones & Partners ✨ on London’s Sloane Square for Elizabeth Scarlett | Embrace your Nature earlier this year.

I loved creating the paper peonies for the Chelsea in Bloom display, which was exhibited alongside The RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

Each peony was handcrafted, inspired by a new peony design from Elizabeth Scarlett | Embrace your Nature .

A huge thank you to my amazing team for helping bring these detailed, layered flowers to life!

Delighted to be featured in the FT Weekend today with this series of photographic illustrations accompanying an engaging and insightful article on debt by Aidan Tulloch. Always a pleasure to see work in print! A big thank you to art director for commissioning me; it was enjoyable bringing this piece to life! The characters' shirts are cut from printed banknotes, and the figures are all tied to the building by their debt 💵

I'm excited to share that I’m participating in SAOS this month at Brightwells, Farnham, featuring in the Farnham Contemporaries exhibition alongside a fantastic group of artists!

SOUTH FARNHAM ART TRAIL

My team and I spent a lot of time crafting the letters for the Independent Paper Show signage displayed in Manchester this week, commissioned by Foilco. We folded and glued each tab into place, working together to bring the design to life. ✂️🟧⬛⬜

I was delighted to be commissioned to design and create the papercraft trophies for the Gmund Awards, which were presented last week during the Unfolded Festival at the mill in Bavaria, Germany.

Designing awards for fellow designers is a great honour, and it’s hard to fully convey the sense of responsibility that comes with such a task. The awards celebrate design and creativity, recognising individuals and teams who are among the best in their fields. It’s very meaningful to have created these for the winners.

The awards feature Gmund’s new Gmund Colors papers, and it was a fantastic feeling to be among the first to use them! Thank you, Gmund, for inviting me to be part of the Unfolded Festival!
