As the freelance Art Director for three consecutive issues of Times Luxx Magazine, I directed six successful photo shoots, including three covers, and curated showcases featuring couture jewellery, watches, and a Christmas gift guide as well as designing and proofing all editorial layouts.

As LYMA's Design Director, I built and led the team through the entire integrated creative process, from ideation to execution. I oversaw the website overhaul, new product launches, directed photo and video shoots, managed final edits, and crafted marketing communications for email, social, and advertising. Additionally, I produced internal presentations, developed new product designs, book series and user manuals to provide consistent communication across all touchpoints. I continue to collaborate with LYMA as a freelance creative, providing ongoing design expertise and guidance to support the brand's growth and success.

In Greek mythology, a little owl (Athene noctua) traditionally represents or accompanies Athena, the goddess of wisdom. Because of the association, the “owl of Athena” has been used as a symbol of knowledge, wisdom and insightfulness throughout the Western world.
The perfect symbol to convey the values of a Health and Safety service.

As a member of the original team that launched Mr Porter, I played a critical role in establishing the site's distinctive visual identity from day one. From designing web pages and emails to commissioning fashion shoots and illustrations, I brought my passion for creating stunning visual content to every aspect of the platform. I even had the opportunity to design the inaugural issue of The Mr Porter Post, the brand's monthly print publication. Thanks to my expertise and dedication to crafting exceptional design, I helped establish Mr Porter as a leading destination for online luxury fashion and lifestyle retail.

This luxury supplement for Omega appeared as a standalone booklet for the Omega store and as a bound in section in Esquire.
The title was blind debossed into the grey, textured cover stock, emulating the impact of a footprint on the surface of the moon. The stark and minimal cover was contrasted by a punchy fluorescent internal cover and accents throughout.
