New work for - a London based facial treatment service that takes a holistic approach to skin health and wellbeing. “Skin, at the root”.

The identity was built around balance, flow, and transparency. A structured serif wordmark was customised with subtle curves, creating a sense of softness and calm while maintaining a refined, contemporary feel.

The brand mark, inspired by the idea of the root, forms an organic ‘C’ monogram grounded within a rectangle. A pearlescent and glass-like texture adds depth in digital spaces, nodding to glowing, healthy skin.

A minimal palette of off-white and charcoal black creates a clean, elevated foundation, allowing imagery of botanics and diverse skin tones to bring warmth and vibrancy.

Really love this one 🪷

More on this gorgeous project from last year with - I worked with them to create the packaging for their latest launch, a unisex Eau De Parfum, Ifé.

Expanding on the current packaging designs we previously created for their other offerings and applying this to a new format that makes this feel part of the Oré mi family while also standing out on its own.

The bottle features the same minimal grid layout design weaved through their range, with the screen-print effect image finding itself at home on the back of the bottle, peering through the glass to also be visible from the front for a unique visual.

Ifé [ee-fay] means ‘love’ in Yoruba and is a scent that offers a deep, sweet, musky hug in a bottle with key notes of African Vetiver and Labdanum.

2025 was spent further collaborating with on the packaging design for their latest launch - Ifé, a unisex Eau De Parfum designed to linger.

Alongside this we gave their website a refresh with a considered, stripped back approach to better showcase their offerings of scents for your home and body.

Some unused concepts from the Kalimera brand, featuring an icon and wordmark developed from Madeline’s mother’s handwriting and a secondary option inspired by the woven quality of Lefkara lace.

Kalimera is a design-led travel platform celebrating Cypriot culture and heritage - blending storytelling with curated guides to showcase authentic travel experiences across Cyprus.

Founded by island native Madeleine Nathanael Knowles (now Scotland-based), Kalimera was born from a desire for thoughtful, honest travel guides that truly reflect the island she knows. It offers a curated mix of places to stay, local insights, and editorial notes on Cypriot culture, creativity, and craft.

Brand identity, website + socials design and 35mm film photography for 🔨

Corrlee is a Glasgow-based joinery business delivering high-quality craftsmanship across a variety of projects. Founded and run by Josh and Alex, who hail from the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, the team brings over 20 years of combined experience to every project. From structural builds to finishing touches, they take pride in delivering work with care and skill - whether in Glasgow or further afield.

For their brand we pulled on the idea of ‘the space’, creating a brand icon reminiscent of the structures of a room that combines both founders’ surname initials and the initials of the brand name. Using an electric colbat blue to infuse a fresh and vibrant edge to the identity. A super fun one to work on!
