‘Neon Nights’ is the first track taken from my new EP, which is out in the next few weeks. The 4 tracks each have their own slightly different vibe, moving between hypnotic rhythms, chunky breaks and ethereal vocals. Can’t wait to share more with you soon 🎵

New work for Datahai, a boutique data consultancy.

Since developing the original visual identity for Datahai back in 2020, the consultancy has gone from strength to strength. Andy was looking to give the visual identity an overhaul and a refreshed look and feel to move forward with in 2025.

The new identity introduces a completely new logo, logotype, typography and colour palette, with a more contemporary take on data and IT.

The updated marque stays with the ‘D’ theme, this time featuring a flashing pixel motif. I wanted to give the identity a slightly retro feel and a very subtle nod towards the world of video games, something Andy has a huge passion for.

The use of Space Grotesk for the logotype and primary typography helps further that slightly more playful feel, whilst the new colour and grad system make things feel more contemporary, digital and dynamic.

We also designed and built a new site with a fully accessible CMS system.

Visual Identity refresh for Datahai – Unlocking the full potential of your data and transforming the way you work

It’s been 25 years since I began my journey into the design world. Fresh from studying Art & Design for several years through college and University, I was thrown into the world of music design and a baptism of fire in my first job at Good Looking Records in early 2001. Nick Purser (then leading the artwork dept) shared a live sleeve design brief at my Uni, and I grabbed the opportunity. I had no idea if anything would come from it… After several false starts (and 3-4 interviews), I found myself working for my DJ hero LTJ Bukem (and of course, the legendary MC Conrad) and my favourite record label. Ultimately beginning my career with my dream job.

Since then, it’s been a weird and wonderful journey, and I’ve met and worked alongside so many incredibly talented people (big shout out if that’s you).

Throughout the year I’ll share career highlights and memories, starting with the first sleeve artwork I worked on at Good Looking in early 2000. It was the first time Nick let me loose on a 12” release, and his faith and confidence in me were always so strong, helping me begin to define my work and style. I’ll always be grateful for this moment.

'Tu' is the 3rd track from La Isla and means You in Catalan and incidentally Lithuanian. It features the vocals of artist and poet Neringa Rekasiute which had been recorded several years back for a previous production that never saw the light of day. Good things come to those who wait.
