Think 4: D&AD Student Awards Best of Year winner 2012.
I worked on this project with Alexander Venndt, Julien Donck, Markus Dahlbom and Sebastian Hoglund as an entry for the D&AD Student Awards 2012. Our work was rewarded with a Best of Year award, an accolade which we're really proud of.
The brief was to create a launch campaign, including visual identity and name, for a new channel from Channel 4 aimed at older viewers (over 60) who appriciate quality drama, documentary and arts programming.
Always Used, Never Loved: The love-life of a Condom, who only ever feels abused. Late 2011.
This After Effects animation was made together with Alexander Venndt for the Loop De Loop monthly animation competition. The November theme was 'Condoms' as World's Aids Day falls on December 1st. The only other guideline was that the animation had to loop.
Winner of a national competition to create a viral for The Yellow pages. Spring 2011.
I worked with Adam Webster, Katherine Barclay and Ed Barton to produce this viral animation for a competition set by The Yellow Pages, which we won.
This was the first time any of us had tried anything like this and we only had a week to spend on the project from start to finish. It's definitely something I'd love to try again on an even bigger scale.
Fatboy Slim - Gangster Tripping video. 2007.
My first attempt at stop frame animation which I did for a school project in 2007. Shot on my bedroom floor using a 3mpx digital camera and a home-made tri-pod (an old stool and some masking tape).
It has over 1.5million views on YouTube, which is always nice!
Rebtel Infographics. Early 2012.
Rebtel, The worlds second largest provider of VoIP telephony hired me to create two Infographics for them to show off their progress and their Valentines Day Poll 2012.
I'd never worked on an Infographic previously, so I enjoyed the excuse to spend lots of time looking through DataFlow and Visual.ly! I then settled on a illustrative, less 'scientific' style of infographic, as I felt it would be more suitable to the audience, the brand and the data on show.
Rebtel were really pleased with the results and the infographics were picked up by tech blogs and sites including IntoMobile, PR Web and Gigaom.
Hyper Island Work Hard Play Hard Expo Graphic Identity. Late 2011.
I worked with Astrid Sylvester to develop the graphic identity for Hyper Island's Expo 2011.
As well as the graphic identity we created posters, invitations and 'fortune-tellers' to send along with invitations, and to hand out to visitors who attended the expo.
We did this as part of the larger expo team, who worked together to organise and promote the expo. As part of this team I was also involved in developing and executing a guerrilla campaign which involved painting hopscotch's outside the front doors of most of Stockholm's creative agencies.

The Crowd & I Branding. Summer 2011.
For my first branding job I was hired by the PR agency The Crowd and I. I created the entire graphic identity for the recent start-up and also provided them with full brand guidelines and branded stationary, including letterheads, promo-boards and business cards.
I worked on this project while I was based in the Meanwhile offices and so was able to benefit from mentoring throughout from Gabbi Cahane of Meanwhile and Cahane & Associates.
I learnt a lot about the branding process from this project, and produced a graphic profile which the client was really pleased with.

This is a small selection of personal work. I like to experiment with different styles and make things which make myself (and others) smile.
Join Ride App UX and UI. Early 2012.
This app design was done as part of our Visual Branding and Identity module at Hyper.
I worked as part of a group of six, and my main responsibility was to design the UX and UI of the App. This was the first time I'd done a project like this, so I found it to be a really useful learning experience, especially as it made me think about all the big little details.
As a group we also created a website design and a full visual identity.
Burberry Bespoke Artwork. Summer 2010.
For my first 'real' freelance job, I spent 3 and a half months working as a PhotoShop artist at Prime Focus London on a high-profile job for Burberry. The job involved adding all the customisation options (buttons, leather sleeves, fur collars, belts...) to the base images of the coats. We also had to grade the coats for the different colour options. Each coat has three angles of view, and different views for collar up/down and coat open/closed.
