Select Projects

While co-chair of the comms circle, we created decentralised brand guidelines, made a cinema-quality ad in under 24 hours, ran art workshops and crowd-funded £500k. Proving the power of a narrative co-written for and by local people.
Digital museum destigmatising period pain, part of the 2021 Cannes Lions Titanium Grand Prix winning Pain Project for Bodyform by AMV BBDO & Ketchum.

A mixed-reality bar where flavours came to life through Magic Leap headsets, made with ECD
Shirin Majid at Cake. We created a multi-sensory immersive brand experience that merged physical taste with digital wonder.
A Work Club project developing the world's first 3D-printed whisky glass designed for zero gravity.
