Graphic Design 2021
My work is centred mainly around people, social groups and communities, uplifting people who my be marginalised in a society. Design for me has been about celebrating diversity and creating educational pieces that highlight the good and bad in our society. I find producing work on people the most impactful and enjoyable because they often have the potential to divide opinion. I hope my work can help change people’s mindsets to what is normal, beautiful or desirable.

Celebration in 3D

The Genderless Guide
A short self-written publication, accompanied with a set of stickers, based on my personal experience with gender. Filled with my own stories and small illustrations the book serves as a guide to help other gender non-conforming men.
