      • Apr 2013 - Present

      Outside of my full-time employment, I also take on freelance design and illustration work, which allows me to pursue projects that offer a greater degree of creative freedom, and to take on a full spectrum of interconnected disciplines such as art direction, illustration, layout, typography, pre-press, packaging design. I've been fortunate to have been commissioned to work on design for critically-acclaimed album releases from independent musicians such as Bismuth and Dvne. My work has been commercially available at a variety of live events, has been included in commercial publications ('Monochromes', Heavy Music Artwork, 2018), and has even been cited in an academic thesis ('Mysticism, Ritual and Religion in Drone Metal' by Owen Coggins, Bloomsbury Academic, 2018).
