Profile

Who I am, and what I build.

I work across illustration, product design and front-end, and I take projects from the first sketch through to something people can actually use.

Most of my recent work has gone into KHORA, a football chess platform I designed, illustrated and built end to end: hundreds of hand-drawn piece sets, boards and national symbols, the interface around them, live match data and the editorial that keeps it running.

I take on illustration, product and interface design, and social and editorial campaigns. I'm most useful where a project needs both the craft and the thinking behind it: what you put in front of people, and why.

What I do

Draw it. Build it. Tell it.
