  • Jul 2015 - Feb 2022

  Approached by the British Museum to do freelance design work for their future exhibitions. These three exhibitions were: - Sunken cities; Egypt’s lost worlds, - The American Dream; Pop to the present, - Scythians; Warriors of Ancient Siberia, My designs have been printed on a variety of shop merchandise such as: china mugs, silk scarves, tea towels, notebooks, tote bags, compact mirrors, card holders, key-rings, fridge magnets and children’s T-Shirts. The drawings and colours of each individual motif required accuracy to factual history. As a result they were lengthily projects that involved a great deal of research. All three designs were presented to the specified requirements, delivered on time, within budget and then successfully sold out in the shop.
