Purezza
Purezza is a plant based pizzeria which started its opening in Brighton and has opened it's first branch in Manchester this year. I have started working there as front of house, whilst also being able to input my illustrative skills into the company. This collaboration has allowed me to create A-Board designs to advertise the restaurant outside on the High Street.
Below is an illustration featured for a wall mural that will be placed in the staff room of the restaurant. The illustration is based off of the famous Manchester worker bees and plays on the words 'plant based' by narrating these bees working together amongst plants and flowers by carrying and serving pizza back and forth. It's bright, colourful and busy. The gap on the bottom left is to show where the door will be on the wall.
SHE HEARTS FILM
with Analogue Wonderland
Emma Lloyd is a photographer who works within the Analogue Wonderland company. She has also produced a film project called She Hearts Film that has been initiated on Instagram. Emma wanted the possibilty to rework her official logo design and create a more modern, genderless icon.
"I feel that it is important that the film community (and world) is inclusive, we build representation of all different kinds of people that can offer different experiences and perspectives. The film community will grow this way and be better off for it, we all have different stories and lessons to share. Keep being creative, sharing your work and inspiring each other, the She Hearts film project is only just the beginning!"

Lils Crotchet Closet
Lils Crochet Closet is a start up company for the production and selling of crocheted clothes and accessories. Lillian hand crochets her one size hats, jumpers and handbags and sells them on her Instagram. She needed a logo and a few illustrations for her labels. I wanted to create something vibrant, feminine and comforting.
I created two logo designs. The official logo contains a figure wearing a crocheted hat. Lillian designs her hats with certain motifs and themes. They can often display frogs, pigs and strawberries on the hats. I surrounded her hat with elements of strawberries as this was one of her first designs. The second illustration features a pair of hands crocheting a piece of wool to create the logo and type design. It shows that the products are personal and handmade.

Heriot Hott Sauce
Above: Facebook Cover Photo for the Facebook Page, Heriot Hott Sauce.
Heriot Hott Sauce is a start up company based in Edinburgh, UK. The brief was to illustrate a set of flavoured hot sauces based on a character called Professor Heriot in his lab/sauce creation space. Heriot Hott has drawn inspiration and aspects from Heriot Watt University and George Heriot and James Watt. The Facebook Cover Photo used above has accents of the Heriot Watt Building as Professor Hott's throne.
George Heriot was a Scottish goldsmith and philanthropist from the 17th Century. James Watt was a Scottish inventor, mechanical engineer, and chemist who improved on Thomas Newcomen's 1712 Newcomen steam engine with his Watt steam engine in 1776. Both were innovators within their own line of work. The premise of the brief was to create a character with a similar personality to that of James and George, head-strong and bold. Someone who instills the idea of a crafter/creator.
