A few years ago, I set out to develop an in‑house style for projects that called for a more creative, distinctive approach.

Put simply, this aesthetic is 100% me. It’s not born from a company’s brand guidelines, nor shaped by focus groups or marketing workshops. It’s simply what I find visually interesting — and what I enjoy creating. I believe that has real value, and can be harnessed to craft strong narratives with a distinctive and memorable visual appeal.

A 3 day excavation of the mind
A short film created for no reason other than the idea insisted on existing — a collection of moments and concepts woven together under one artistic vision.
Now or Never – Music Video
I was brought on as Director, Video Editor, and Animator for this dance/performance‑based music video. By blending live‑action footage with hand‑drawn illustration, and unifying it through colour and motion, the result became a suitably vivid partner to a psychedelic audio journey.
Zombies – Music Video
I first received the lyrics to this track before ever hearing the music — and that alone was enough to spark the idea for a short film as a visual companion to this nihilist anthem. The stripped‑back aesthetic works hand‑in‑hand with the narrative: a reflection on the monotony of working life under capitalism, and the relentless grind of getting from one day to the next.
Sad – Music Video
Taking cues from the music visualisers of the early 2000s, this largely abstract video responds directly to the song’s component parts — with shapes and movement assigned to individual instruments and drum patterns. The track itself is a wordless meditation on loss and grief, while the recurring visual artefacts invite reflection on the personal journeys we navigate in the depths of sadness.
