I stay up late designing
so you don’t have to


Scam Detect

Client: Featurespace

Role: Visual execution, asset rollout, production liaison


Challenge


Featurespace launched a new campaign titled Scam Detect, built around the metaphor of a German Shepherd acting as a “guard dog” against financial fraud.

The creative direction was defined externally by a strategy agency, but required practical execution across multiple applications.

The objective was to:

  • Translate a strong central metaphor into scalable campaign assets

  • Maintain brand consistency across digital and physical formats

  • Support both marketing and event activation


My Approach

Working from the approved campaign concept, I focused on developing a cohesive visual rollout system.

  • Designed and composited branded dog collar graphics, including a custom “Scam Detect” tag integrated into campaign imagery.

  • Adapted campaign visuals for website banners, email headers and LinkedIn podcast snippets

  • Designed and prepared production-ready files for webcam covers, carrier boxes, and playing cards deck liaising directly with manufacturers to ensure correct specifications.

The goal was to ensure the campaign concept translated seamlessly across both digital and physical touchpoints.

Tuesday Taboo 

Client: Holland&Barrett

Role: Visual direction, animation, title ident design



As part of the Meno app — a platform supporting women navigating menopause — the Tuesday Taboo series aimed to address common but often unspoken aspects of menopause in an accessible, engaging way.

Each episode focused on a specific taboo topic, using a tone that balanced factual clarity with light, tongue-in-cheek delivery.

Scripts were provided, and the task was to translate them into visually cohesive, concise animations suitable for in-app publishing.


My Approach

Working from script, I:

  • Developed storyboards to shape pacing and visual rhythm

  • Defined a minimal visual style aligned with the app’s tone and audience

  • Directed and animated four short-form episodes

  • Designed an animated title ident to establish series continuity

Given the tight budget and format constraints, the focus was on clarity, typography and considered motion rather than complex visual builds. The restrained aesthetic supported the subject matter — allowing space for humour without trivialising the topic.

The goal was to make sensitive conversations feel approachable, informative and human.

360 Campaign Visualisation

Agency: ps London

Role: Motion & visual mockups, asset integration



Challenge

The agency was preparing a high-stakes pitch within the education sector and needed their campaign creative presented in a way that felt tangible and real-world.

While core creative assets had been developed, the presentation lacked immersive context. The goal was to:

  • Elevate the pitch deck visually

  • Demonstrate how the campaign would exist across platforms

  • Increase emotional engagement and credibility during the pitch

The objective was to help stakeholders visualise the campaign as a fully realised 360° rollout.


My Approach

Working from the agency’s established creative direction, I focused on bringing the campaign into real-life application.

  • Translated flat creative assets into in-situ mockups across multiple touchpoints.

  • Ensured consistency across formats to reinforce campaign cohesion

The objective was to help stakeholders visualise the campaign as a fully realised 360° rollout.

Scam Detectors 

Client: Featurespace

Role: Motion design, template development, title ident animation



Challenge

Scam Detectors is a podcast series exploring topics around financial crime and fraud prevention, with each episode focusing on a different cybersecurity issue.

To support promotion of the series on LinkedIn, the marketing team needed a set of reusable motion templates that could turn short audio excerpts into engaging social assets while maintaining visual consistency with the brand.


My Approach

I developed a flexible motion system designed to work across multiple episodes and topics.

  • Designed and animated a title ident to introduce the podcast series

  • Created several animated background concepts aligned with Featurespace’s brand language

  • Developed a modular template structure for short podcast snippets

  • Integrated speaker headshots and subtitles to support accessibility and clarity

  • Built colour variations based on the client’s brand palette so each episode could have its own visual identity while remaining recognisable as part of the series

The template approach allowed the marketing team to efficiently produce multiple social assets while maintaining a cohesive look and feel.

Parkinson’s Documentary animation

Indie documentary collaboration

Role: Co-concept development, visual direction, animation



Challenge

The documentary required clear and accessible visual explanations of complex neurological processes related to Parkinson’s disease.

The scientific content needed to remain accurate while being emotionally resonant and visually engaging.


My Approach

  • Collaborated closely with a neurologist during script development

  • Interpreted scientific information into visual metaphors and narrative sequences.

  • Developed a more organic, analogue-inspired visual style to reflect the human and neurological themes.

  • Directed and animated approximately 4 minutes of the documentary.

The goal was to ensure the campaign concept translated seamlessly across both digital and physical touchpoints.
 

Check Fraud

Client: Featurespace

Role: Image compositing, retouching, campaign asset rollout



Challenge

For the Check Fraud campaign, the external strategy agency proposed a visual concept built around subtle anomalies — animals appearing in environments where something “doesn’t look right.”

However, the initial visuals were AI-generated and, due to legal and compliance requirements, could not be used in final campaign materials.

The challenge was to recreate the concept from scratch using fully licensable assets while maintaining realism and visual credibility.


My Approach

Working from the approved campaign concept, I focused on developing a cohesive visual rollout system.

  • Recreated four fully licensable campaign hero images

  • Delivered high-resolution assets suitable for print and digital use

  • Adapted visuals for email banners, print materials and animated social placements


The goal was to ensure the campaign concept translated seamlessly across both digital and physical touchpoints.
