Selected work
Twenty-five years of it, and most of it cannot be shown.
A good deal of the work is commercially sensitive, covered by an agreement, or runs somewhere only staff can reach. Discretion is part of what a client is buying, so the honest consequence is that the portfolio is smaller than the career.
What follows is the part I can show: interface work for products that were public, and the identity, print, character and modelling work made alongside it. Each project says what the pictures are. Where I do not have a date or a figure I have not invented one.

Product interface
Tesco Groceries
Grocery listing and product pages, designed in Figma and specified down to the states the build actually needed: a product tile new, on promotion, and out of stock, drawn as one component rather than as three screens.

Product interface
Johnson Matthey — Formox and LEVO
Plant performance dashboards for two Johnson Matthey products. A plant manager opening one of these wants the number and its trend in the same glance, so the performance indicators are set large and the reactor detail is a table underneath rather than a second screen.

Product interface
MustardBet
A betting product and the campaign work around it. The odds board is the whole application as far as a customer is concerned, so most of the effort went into making a dense table of numbers readable at speed; the campaign pages and the transactional email had to survive next to it.

Product interface
Colossus Bets
A mobile betting flow drawn as a flow rather than as a set of screens, so the argument about how many steps it took could be had before anything was built.

Identity
Duck & Elephant
An identity for a storytelling imprint, built around an ampersand that is also the join between the two animals. Drawn as a monogram first so that the mark survives being printed small and in one colour, then extended to a lockup, a reversed version and a palette.

Identity and print
Deviant Robot
A long-running personal publishing project: the site, the cards, and the poster and VHS sleeve for Deviant Cyber-Wolf, a piece of eighties science fiction that exists mostly as its own artwork.

Identity and print
Inspire Reflection
A mark and a card set for a channel about how people come to believe things. The octopus is a deliberately odd choice for a subject that attracts lightbulbs and brains, and the card leads with the idea rather than with the name.

Identity and print
More Risu
A bilingual wordmark for a streaming channel, where the squirrel has to work as a counter-form in the type rather than as a picture stuck beside it, and the Japanese has to sit at the same optical weight as the Latin.

Character and game art
Characters and game art
Characters drawn to be animated, rigged or built rather than to be looked at once: a mascot in its third revision, an avatar specified from three angles, and a level laid out in the editor it would be played in.

Modelling studies
Modelling studies
Two lighting studies, kept because of what they were for: learning how a surface behaves before asking a renderer to make it look expensive.

Identity
One-off marks
A mark drawn on its own, without an identity around it to hold it up.

Something here look like your problem?
The interesting part of any of these was the decision that does not show up in a screenshot. Ask me about one and I will tell you what it was.
