Excited to be able to share this! I was approached by @Apple to create a custom illustrated Apple logo for their May 7 iPad event. The logo was created 100% on the #iPad using #applepencil and @Procreate. Definitely a career highlight. Thank you Apple!

I was delighted to be commissioned by @pearlfisherlive to help craft the wordmark and arc symbol as part of their rebrand for the iconic energy and sports drink Lucozade. The first major refresh in Lucozade’s 97 year history. Big thanks to the Pearlfisher for getting me onboard!

Big thanks to the @pearlfisherlive team for getting me onboard to help craft the logo for their rebrand of PG Tips. My job with the type was to balance contemporary character with a touch of heritage. #PGTips #rebrand #typedesign #customtype

Delighted to be part of @iammrcup’s letterpress calendar for 2024! My piece is based on the sentiment ‘Start Now’. And in the spirit of these beautiful calendars I thought it might be cool to add just a teeny bit of embellishment! 😁 Grab a copy here: https://t.co/R4oAxRRXHX

I was delighted to be commissioned by @pearlfisherlive to help craft the wordmark as part of their global rebrand for @Kahlua. My role was to update the logotype to re-introduce Kahlúa's “sense of playfulness”. Big thanks to the Pearlfisher team for getting me involved!

Nice little note penned by my old fella. Thanks for sharing @stratboysteve (the swim champs visit 👍).
Charta. A simple piece of paper tabbed into a book on typography can take on a magical quality when used by Tony Forster, one of the finest lettering artists the UK ever produced #365in2023

India-inspired type piece. I was lucky to visit Agra and the Taj Mahal back in Feb. Not an official stamp design, btw. I collected stamps as a kid and have loved them ever since. We defo don’t see enough typographical stamp designs. So here’s one to start plugging the gap! 😁
