TERRITORY 01.11.13 A collaboration project that involved ‘re-inventing’ a dance space. We chose to create a movement in which people would come together to dance like animals without the aid of music. These are the instruction cards that would be given out before or during the event.

Lie face down on the floor in a plank position.

Roll your whole body to the left and then to the right. Push yourself forward using your toes.

Curl into a ball and roll onto your back. Spin around a few times. Repeat several times.



Promotional posters to advertise the night, using the brand name ‘Territory’ to relate to the theme of animals.



A live project for ISTD, in which I created a series of stamps. This set of typographic stamps prepare the reader for what is inside their post.

The beauty of this stamp is that it can be used in a variety of situations. Yet it will always give you the advice that you need. We all know to flick on the kettle and bring out the tea in times of despair or fear, and now even the stamps are telling you to do so. So have a brew and bring out the hobnobs, before you allow yourself to read the news inside. Everything seems better with a good cup of tea and you know it.

There is nothing worse than wasting time opening mail and finding out its ust unk. Why should we have to sift through a pile a rubbish to get to the good stuff. ur new collection of stamps have made this trawling through post so much easier. Whenever you see this stamp you don t even have to bother opening the letter, ust take it straight to the shredder and be done with it.

We all dread the letter that informs us of being made redundant or notified of late bills but at least with these stamps you will get a bit of warning. ts not often that you get lots of time off work, so why not et off somewhere nice and make the most of it. There are plenty of ways you can save on water and gas bills. We want our stamps to promote positivity and change the way we think about bad news. You may never get the chance to take a long break again, so make the most of it.

I also made a small publication to explain the purpose of each stamp and the circumstance that it would be used.


This project was based on smell. I made a set of concertina books that each represent a journey of smells taken from different gardens.


Each individual circle has been embossed to create texture.
