CONCEPT & DESIGN

Crockery Farm:
Concept, Design and Illustration
Crockery Farm, is a story of discovery and adventure for an uninspired boy, Pete, and his dog, Barney, who fall into the surprising enjoyment and revelation of a plate of seasonal vegetables.
This book for young children is designed as a concertina fold, which partitions a continuous artwork into novel page-turns, that string together the entire narrative. The design and realisation is a showcase of my versatility, imagination, illustration, storytelling and obsessive attention to detail.
Concept Art
and Production Design
This collection of images forms part of a larger deck of work from a recent development project. I took inspiration from a short film script that I written, to design and visualise the characters and location, paying strict attention to the effect of colour, across the project, to help incite mood, meaning and emotion.
“Migration” Concept and Development
Design and Pitch
One Sheet
These single page pitch posters showcase my early development work, designed to introduce a simple idea and gain traction for the larger project.
They include early stage character design and styling, whilst attempting to capture a bigger sense of the arcing narrative and the key themes that drive the story.

Design and
Illustration
I designed and printed these seasonal post cards for a local rowing club.
The initial octopus design was commissioned to create as a new identity for the group. The postcards have become a enjoyable annual ‘side hustle’ and a project worth sharing.
