KZK Chapter 01
2024This campaign introduced Kazaki as a luxury streetwear brand built around the concept of quiet luxury. Through a phased Instagram strategy, the campaign gradually revealed the brand—beginning with mysterious, shadowed visuals that sparked curiosity, followed by clearer product imagery and lifestyle moments that highlighted the quality and mindset behind the clothing.





Scar Collection
2024 This project explores the visual language of masculine identity. Drawing on hooligan and street subcultures, the art direction utilises leather, padding, and masks as both literal and symbolic tools that simultaneously protect and conceal.

The imagery, shot as a cohesive ensemble, explores masculinity through restraint and armour, revealing the quiet humanity beneath in environments where toughness is valued, and brotherhood replaces vulnerability.

The work functions as social commentary delivered through fashion photography, using visual codes to say what the subject cannot.





VYB Jersey Party
2024Created for VYB Club, an Afrocentric nightclub based in Aberdeen, this campaign promotes a jersey-themed club night celebrating style, individuality, and community.

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 is best expressed through the promotional video linked here.



Dark Future
2026Set within stark urban environments this project explores a vision of dark futurism shaped by tension, survival, and adaptation.

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.









Vega Branding
2026 Vega is a climbing brand built around the next generation of the sport. Named after one of the brightest stars in the night sky, the brand positions young climbers as future stars of the climbing world.

The crossed-A monogram, inspired by bouldering tape markers, connects the identity to climbing culture. Royal gold and orchid purple, rare in action sports, help Vega stand out. Clean geometric type and a simple lockup keep it bold and accessible, creating a distinctive yet inclusive brand that can grow with its audience.




Trener Branding,
2026Trener is a brand dedicated to providing an efficient platform for managing football coaching. The tailored silhouette immediately conveys this purpose, being both familiar to the sport and suited for business. Red is the dominant colour, inspired by the Norwegian and Danish flags, subtly honouring the founder’s heritage. The blacks and whites surrounding it serve to enhance this effect. Sora’s bold geometry lends authority to the wordmark, while the red ‘er’ suffix adds a discreet signature.



Tidal Vista
2024Tidal Vista is a renewable energy brand leveraging Scotland’s leadership in tidal power. Its identity features a modernised Celtic triskelion, symbolising action, cycles, and progress, as a clean three-node mark that blends organic flow with technical precision.

A blue-dominant palette directly references the sea, while black adds weight and a futuristic touch. The Nasalization typeface supports the brand’s forward-looking positioning. Core values of reliability, transparency, and harmony are woven throughout, creating an identity that feels both connected to nature and credible as an energy innovator.


















About Me

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.Education, Tools & Experience
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.
