Role – Graphic Designer / Creative Direction – Personal Project
After developing my illustration style into something I was pleased with, I decided to push it a little further. Apparel felt like the natural development – the abstract line drawing style connected well with clothing. This developed into a semi-ongoing small business, with a percentage of funds being donated to charity.
Collaboration with Kimmy Beatbox – Merch Apparel
Kimmy is a beatboxer based in Manchester, performing across the UK and Europe. After approaching her with the idea to design merch, we decided to collaborate. This led to hundreds of global sales – in the end raising money for Black Lives Matter – the charity of Kimmy's choice.
Maya Bosman by Mia Sakai
To launch a new collection of t-shirts and boost online engagement, I conducted a photoshoot with model Maya Bosman. This charged sales and was great exposure for the new designs. Photography by Mia Sakai.
Initial Illustrations and Mark-making
These are a few images to show my process. All of the illustrations and mark-making was done by hand and then scanned, uploaded, and edited on Photoshop to be printed and sold.
