Lofi Productions LtdBranding & Visual Identity2025
Lofi is the UK’s first radler brand, focused on doing one thing well. They blend proper beer with real fruit soda to make something refreshing, balanced, and genuinely delicious to drink.

This translates visually with a design identity that is rooted in care, honesty, and fun. Just as the name suggests, we embrace the low-fidelity aesthetic unpolished but full of character. 

The visual language is minimal and playful; without being sterile or overbearing. I focused on authentic materials, purposeful typography, and natural, tactile elements to tell their story.

Queer Film InstituteVisual Identity2025
Queer Film Institute (QFI) connects audiences with Queer media from around the world, amplifying new voices in the global conversation. Its mission is to “cultivate queer expression globally through media arts” and to celebrate queer film and stories from different sexualities, races, genders, religions, cultures, abilities, ideologies, and class backgrounds. Their projects include film festivals, film directories and podcasts about Queer film.

The visual identity aims to represent Queer media through colour and the concept of the angular film strip, which is used as a graphic device across different brand applications. It’s film that’s not straight; Queer film. The logo suite embodies the diversity and vibrancy of QFI. The logo is adaptable and legible across a range of media and contexts.

Pride Protest PartyTypeface Design, Visual Identity, Web & Editorial Design2019
This project explores the topic of ‘pinkwashing’—a practise whereby companies promote gay-friendliness in an attempt to benefit or to downplay any negative aspects of the company. I formed a group and designed the visual identity with the intention of attending Pride parades and broadcasting the message that a) Pride originated as a protest, and b) if companies are supporting the LGBTQIA+ community during Pride month, this support must be genuine. To communicate this message, I designed a typeface that draws elements from both protest and party.

I’m Coming OutDesign Research2018
‘I’m Coming Out’ examines the expression of queer identity through Irish nightclub posters and flyers from the Irish Queer Archive in the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s.

The research is drawn from various Irish scholars writing on the socio-political history of Ireland, from academics and archivers writing on club culture, identity and flyer design, from various cultural theories and interviews I conducted with Tonie Walsh, former DJ and club promoter, and graphic designer Niall Sweeney; providing an in-depth analysis of the first generation of Irish queer designers.
