      Cardiff Record Exchange wanted a psychedelic inspired window display to attract people into the shop. With soft lines and bright colours, the aim was to promote the idea that anyone was welcome to the shop, no matter their music taste, there really is something for everyone here.

      I organised and executed an Open Haus event for The Printhaus, following their move into Chapter. The event was held to improve community engagement, raise awareness of the organisation and allow people to try out some screen printing for free. Through co-ordinating with Chapter, running social media campaigns and community outreach schemes, we saw a fantastic turn out over the 2 days, from young children, families and students alike. We also saw an increase in memberships in the weeks following this event. Show less

      Over 6 weeks I lead the crowd funder - A New Chapter of Life for the Printhaus. The aim was to raise £15,000 to fund their essential move into Chapter Arts Centre. During this 6 weeks we collaborated with local artists to develop rewards and incentives for people to donate, organisations to explore grants and funding, and ran several events to promote the cause. The over all funds we raise were over £18,000. The Printhaus successfully moved into Chapter Arts and were able to purchase an energy efficient LED exposure unithttps://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/save-the-printhaus Show less

      I created a series of installation artwork for an up and coming house music festival called Into The Woods, run by events brand, Discotek. One piece sat suspended in the forest surroundings and illuminated as the evening grew darker, becoming more prominent over the festival; the other acted as a photography-opportunity point, encouraging attendees to share their experiences online and through social media.
