Te Papa — Dinosaurs of Patagonia — Campaign
We were tasked with generating excitement about an upcoming dinosaur exhibit at Te Papa, New Zealand’s national museum. To do this, we capitalised on the size of the star of the exhibition – the biggest dinosaur discovered to date called the Titanosaur Patagotitan Mayorum – by building a 3D replica and using that to create huge abstract snapshots for the artwork surrounding the campaign. These snapshots became part of a large campaign rolled out around New Zealand graphicdesigner

Social Gallery — Branding
I created a brand identity for a gallery in the Wellington Boys and Girls Institute Inc. (BGI), a not-for-profit youth organisation. The gallery is tailored towards the general public and aims to introduce the youth involved with BGI to the art world, local artists and the goings-on of a gallery space.
The name Social was borrowed from one of the four key principals of BGI and repurposed for the gallery. The form of the icon was taken from a crest initially made for the BGI, with each side framing a value. logo graphicdesigner illustrator branding designer

Medusa
I was tasked to develop a "dive bar" brand direction for an independent craft wine and beer bar in Lima, Peru. I created a bespoke illustration of a jellyfish for the central image, given its somewhat murky reputation, much like the bar’s back street location and external appearance. The design direction was derived from this. logo graphicdesigner branding illustrator designer photo

L'AFFARE — Embrace the unknown — Campaign
Traditional sampling campaigns might work for washing powder or muesli bars… but not a stimulating new coffee range.
For L’AFFARE’s Amp'd Fruit and Sweet Velvet launch, we knew we had to match the ingenuity of the roasters with our execution. L’AFFARE needed an event that the people lucky enough to be there would never forget.
We gave them a cryptically unbranded campaign for a journey into the unknown. graphicdesigner designer.

ForthCo. — Branding
Formerly Business Syndicates, a New Zealand-based Kiwi business backing investment company, wished to modernise the company's look and feel.

BGI — Annual Report / Poster
The Wellington Boys' and Girls' Institute (BGI) is a youth development organization that has evolved over the years to meet the changing needs of Wellington's youth. Through the centre of the building rises the poutokomanawa, the post that holds up the heart of BGI's troup house and the ethos that drives their work.
We hoped if we made an annual report/poster that was beautiful enough to hang on stakeholders' walls or even frame, it might keep BGI in the back of their minds as a worthy cause.
An A2 print was produced (because anything smaller is not a poster) and folded into a smaller handheld size, and three colour options were made to represent the three values of the BGI. logo graphicdesigner branding designer illustrator

English Tealeaves — Branding / Packaging
