Artwork created for The Overview Effect, a conceptual hip-hop album by Jermiside and The Expert that fuses vintage psychedelic samples with beats from hip-hop’s golden age. The title refers to a cognitive shift in awareness reported by astronauts upon seeing the Earth as a pale blue dot, and the overwhelming urge they feel to protect it. As the music is a collage of vintage psychedelic samples, the artwork reflects this through surreal collage art that evokes the lyrical themes of crime, war, greed, racism, social ecology, technology and love.

An interactive campaign developed with Irish LGBTI+ youth charity Belong To that reimagines how we teach school children the colours of the rainbow with a new message of inclusion and respect. Adopted by schools around the country and now an official Department of Education school resource.

As part of the Dublin Canvas Project, I decided to create an interactive mixtape to share my love for the city. Spray-painted over two weekends using custom stencils, passers-by are met with a giant cassette which connects them to a Spotify playlist inspired by the city and featuring artists from all over Ireland.

Fighting Blindness is an Irish-based charity whose vision is to cure blindness and support people with sight loss. This new campaign was developed to show the real-life benefits of investing in vision research.

Stargazing, visiting an art gallery, or looking at nature; simple activities that most of us take for granted are being made possible by funding scientific research.

Brief: Design a unique brochure and campaign for the BFI’s ‘Nouvelle Vague’ season of French New Wave films.

Idea: The French New Wave directors sought new ways to free the movie-making process, often adopting hand-held cameras and experimental editing methods. The aim here was to develop a new brochure fold that would mimic a ‘jump-edit’ technique.

I was very happy to have been asked to create this series of animated stickers for Visit Dublin, the official tourism site of my home town. The stickers feature some of my favourite spots in the city including Dublin Castle, the lovely National Gallery of Ireland and the breezy Dublin coastline.

After a long COVID lockdown, Element Cinemas decided to get people back socialising with a season of pure joy. However, the uncertainty around potential disruptions demanded a flexible season schedule and an adaptable promotional tool to fit.

In response, a series of Giphy stickers and menu templates were provided, enabling the in-house team to promote daily specials on the fly as shows were added on a weekly basis.

A vivid colour palette and ice-cream swirl motif were incorporated to express the giddy rush triggered by the call of an ice-cream van, beckoning weary locals to (finally) come out and play again.

While working as Marketing Executive at Light House Cinema, I was tasked with the layout, editorial, copywriting and editing of their new Event Cinema brochure from 2015 onwards. The new brochure would promote the new live-broadcast screenings of Opera, Theatre, Music, Visual Art and Ballet to the big screen.

The aim was to emulate a brochure that one might find at a sophisticated arts festival, bringing the theatrical and visual elements to the forefront while highlighting the elegant surroundings and architecture of the cinema itself; one that is not dissimilar to a fine-art space or contemporary arts centre. 

Brief: Design a fresh and interesting corporate report for the London Borough of Hackney’s community council meeting.

Idea: By mixing diverse flavours from around the world to create something unique and vibrant, the Cereal Killer Café in Shoreditch can be used as a visual metaphor to represent the enterprising spirit of Hackney.

Brief: Develop a new brand campaign for the city of Dublin, while drawing inspiration from a unique characteristic of the city.

Idea: Dubliners have an irreverent sense of humour typified by the rhyming nicknames they give to public artworks around the city. The aim was to design a tour-guide app to map out these locations while sharing stories about true Dublin characters.
