Idiosyncrasy is at the core of my practice. I try to create a balance within my work between playful elements and more refined outcomes, exploring unconventional ideas in depth. My work takes a variety of different forms, be that coding, lettering, type and editorial design, or sometimes a combination of all. Research plays an important role; I often take inspiration from pop culture, questioning societal norms and using uncomfortable elements to create a new dialogue. In Chewing Gum, I drew on the themes of the uncanny valley and misophonia to create an immersive web experience.

Collaboration has become a key aspect of my work. I enjoyed working with Molly Hooper on our publication, Go piss, which explores celebrity gossip culture and the connection to the public/private nature of the space of the bathroom. My final project is a typeface that brings the conventionality of Victorian greenhouses together with curious and unusual plants.
