SELECTED WORK

Texture Summit Poster Series

Posters designed for a San Francisco club night
(2023–present)

A poster series for Texture Summit, a San Francisco club night rooted in vinyl and community. Each design responds to the mood of the event, using type, colour, and texture to hold tension between structure and looseness.

Selene Pop-up

Visual identity and printed materials for a food pop-up at Newbarns Brewery (2023)

Made with Phoebe Moon, Adam Hepburn and Maddy Crowther, the work mirrored the tone of the food. Mediterranean flavours, shared plates, soft hospitality. A mix of handwritten titles, quiet type and kitchen photography came together to build something personal and understated.

(2021–present)

A visual identity for Meld Records, an electronic music label embedded in the underground sounds of UK Techno. Built in collaboration with Adam Hepburn, the system combines industrial forms with quiet utility, designed to support rather than define.
