I’m immensely proud to have been a part of the design collaboration on this album, working alongside my old friend DLT, as well as members of Mogwai and [PIAS]. 

The logo and typeface took influences from Amanda Church’s painted tile aesthetic along with elements from the art nouveau era. It was also the first time I’d dabbled with etched vinyl, working the Mogwai Young Team logo on to side 4 of the double vinyl. Fun times.

The Music House label is a chameleon, constantly adapting and evolving to bridge the gap between library and commercial music. They needed some visual standout on their new releases to cut through the ocean of competition within KPM’s vast roster of in-house music library labels.

Inspiration was taken from 1950s and 1960s minimalism, exploring how muted colour and abstract shape can visually represent instrumentation and sound of musical genres. By combining a distinctive diagonal feature alongside a simple typeface we created an engaging and unusual flavour to the collection as a whole. Another collaborative effort with DLT.

The first shop was opened as a pop-up concept in Dogpatch, San Francisco and provides its customers with a museum experience in a sensual oasis.

The pop-up store focuses on our most developed sense: our sense of smell. Four candles are available, whose scents were created by a Korean perfumer.

An album of beautiful library arrangements from the supremely talented Harpist, Mary Lattimore.

The artwork is based on minimalist 50s artwork, visually exploring ways of displaying forms of a Harp in an abstract way.

An E.P. from my band Attention! All Shipping. I designed a rubber stamp of the artwork to produce a limited edition set CDs to sell on merch stands at our gigs.

Looper Canoodles was a musical project born out of lockdown isolation and longing to play live music. Nearly 60 sessions were recorded and posted out to Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Facebook.

Here’s a selection of the covers:
