I had a dream to one day work on a BBC football tournament intro sequence. After months of late nights and hard work I can finally reveal the BBC Euros intro video that I helped to create with the production agency CHIEF.
I’m so happy with how it turned out and to see it launched live on TV was crazy.
I've been involved with some amazing projects over the past year > working on the BBC Euros intro sequence > creating mural designs for the Nike LeBron Innovation Center > designing images for Channel 4s coverage of the Winter Paralympics > creating every cover this season for the Brentford FC programmes... but the latest project I've worked on is for Pepsi and it's been very exciting for me because, it's the first time I've worked on illustrations that will be featured on a product which will be sold in hundreds of shops around the country! The brief was to create three illustrations of Englands star players Nikita Parris, Lucy Bronze and Leah Williamson for use on packs of Doritos to promote the upcoming UEFA Women's Euro 2022 tournament. I'm really proud of how they've turned out and it was such a great opportunity to work with an amazing creative team at Pepsi.
I'm very proud to announce that last year I was commissioned by Nike to create x5 wall mural designs for the 'LeBron Innovation Center' at their Nike headquarters in Oregon. I'm currently building a case study for the project and will be able to share more soon. #dreamproject

I had the great pleasure of working with Brentford FC on a series of graphics for their amazing new training complex.
I created two large light box images, one featuring the top statistics from their previous season and another image created to celebrate their amazing away win against Manchester City.

I also created a set of player portraits which were used in the first team changing rooms. Please note the image shown here is a mock up of the room and is not an actual photograph.

This is my submission to the brilliant #MIFA project from Dave Will design.
The concept is for artists to create artworks of the missing players from the Panini sticker albums. The albums are released in April but the squad announcements from each country are released in May so there are always players who made the squad but missed the book. Dave decided to address this problem: http://davewilldesign.com/mifa
