The leather, padding, and masks act as both protection and emotional distance. As an ensemble these visual codes reveal how masculinity is structured through restraint, protection, and the quiet humanity that exists beneath the surface. The collection helped bring awareness to the social commentary of masculintiy as well as increased the male demographic of my collaboration partner Scarlett Poreba by more than 15%.

Once made for teams, jerseys are used as expressions of personal identity, with each style playfully interpreted in unique ways.
Set within the vibrant atmosphere of VYB, the project reflects the club’s spirit of music, culture, and inclusivity, where different styles, backgrounds, and personalities come together on one dance floor.
This campaign helped increase the footfall on their social media by almost 20% which in turn resulted in the event being one of the most popular of the year.
Different jerseys. Different styles. One shared VYB.

Drawing on dystopian influences, the styling reflects a world where function meets identity, with garments inspired by utilitarian design and cinematic references. Within these spaces, the figures exist between present and future; navigating harsh, industrial landscapes while expressing a quiet resilience.
The project presents a future that feels both distant and familiar, where environment and attire merge to communicate a raw, evolving sense of self.
I’m a visual designer, photographer, and editor focused on creating work that feels considered, expressive, and rooted in identity. My practice sits between image-making and design, where I explore how visuals can communicate mood, culture, and individuality.
Coming from a background in communication design, I naturally combine photography, graphic design, and editing to build cohesive visual outcomes. I’m particularly interested in atmosphere — whether that’s something playful and community-driven or more cinematic and conceptual — and how elements like lighting, styling, and composition can shape a clear visual identity.
I tend to approach projects holistically, thinking about how everything connects rather than as separate parts. For me, it’s about creating work that feels intentional, visually strong, and culturally relevant.
Masters in Communication Design from Robert Gordon University. Proficient in Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop, and Illustrator across image-making, editing, and production.
Experienced in campaign development and visual marketing — having built cohesive visual identities and digital rollout strategies for brands including Kazaki and VYB Club. Comfortable working across both screen and print formats.
My work combines design, photography, and strategic thinking to produce outcomes that are visually strong and commercially aware.
