I worked closely with my sister and professional sculptor Lucianne Lassalle to design and develop her visual identity across multiple platforms, including her website, business cards, posters, and exhibition materials. The project focused on creating a refined and cohesive visual language that reflects the tactile, sculptural quality and quiet strength of her work. Through careful typography, layout, and material choices, I created a clear and elegant framework that supports the presentation of her sculptures while maintaining consistency across both digital and printed formats. The result is a considered and timeless visual presence that enhances her professional communication and exhibition profile.

BACKGROUND: Andrew Holloway is one of the most respected voices in timber construction in the UK. With over forty years of experience spanning historic conservation and contemporary design, he advises architects, engineers and heritage bodies at the highest level. This is a consultant at the very top of his field.

BRIEF: A clean, sophisticated identity and website that establishes Andrew's authority without overstating it. Hi-end clients, big imagery, quiet confidence.

CREATIVE SOLUTION: The logo draws on something ancient and precise. The Tree of Life, long carved into oak-frame buildings across Celtic, Druid and Norse traditions, carries deep symbolic meaning. A protective emblem. A bridge between the physical and the spiritual. A mark of permanence and of knowledge that holds things together across centuries.

For Andrew Holloway, it is entirely right. Rendered as a modern interpretation, the mark carries its history lightly. Set against clean typography and generous white space, it positions him exactly where he belongs: a world-class consultancy rooted in genuine craft.

The website follows the same logic. Space. Strong imagery. No noise. Just the quiet authority of someone with everything to show.

RESULTS: An identity and digital presence that sits comfortably alongside the architects, engineers and institutions Andrew works with at the highest level.

DISCIPLINES: Logo design, brand identity, website design and build.

Flavour with a big dollop of attitude

BACKGROUND: We worked alongside Richard to first develop Entube; the pre-cursor to Hlthpunk, a kitchen ingredients brand. We then developed the Hlthpunk brand from scratch

We want people to enjoy... HEALTHY, INSANELY TASTY, PLANET-FRIENDLY FOOD, WITH A DIFFERENCE. In the same way we did when we were growing up. This is food we're passionate about and truly believe in.

CREATIVE SOLUTION: Being true to their love of art and culture, we created a handcrafted font and unique illustration style that set us apart from the competition. We like to say #EatWHatUBelieve.

Wholefoods (USA, UK), Selfridges (UK), Harvey Nichols (UK), Bon Marché (FR), KaDaWe (DE), The Westin Josun (SK), Hyundai (SK), AlJereez (ME)… and generated a lot of social chatter from the likes of Steph Shepherd (1.6m), Jessica Alba (1.8m), Milano Alyssa (2.9m), Vashtie Kola (0.4m); just some of the celebrities talking about us. We’ve been called ‘the Brew Dog of condiments.’

Powerful brand styling that talks to 16 and 50yr olds

BACKGROUND: Lyle & Scott were on the cusp of reaching out to a wider global audience. The brand had a strong heritage and great products, but marketing had been produced on a ‘as and when needed’ basis, resulting in an incoherent brand and an inconsistent tone of voice.

CREATIVE SOLUTION: Strong confident copy, typography and image styling.

RESULTS: Marked efficiency and respect for the design process amongst the team, elevating the brand’s positioning to be in-line with the quality of their products.

A new watch brand, from scratch, for the Global Travel Retail market.

BACKGROUND: Everything was needed: brand creation, positioning, naming, brand identity, product design, packaging, sales materials, photography, manuals, warranty cards, point of sale and web look and feel. A full brand world.

BRIEF: The only stipulation: that it be firmly rooted in the heart of London.

CREATIVE SOLUTION: I undertook a brand positioning and naming exercise looking for gaps in the market.

Shoreditch fit with the desire for a contemporary feel, underpinned by British craft and detailing. The district has a rich legacy in design: Clerkenwell for watchmaking, Hackney shoe-making and Brick Lane brewing. Shoreditch is where London’s history and the innovative worlds of modern art, design and technology come together.

Overseeing the whole design and branding process I liaised directly with the best watch manufacturers. Supplying them with technical drawings and pushed for the highest standards of production. Every detail of the range was designed right down to the union flag motif on the winding crown, the engraved Shoreditch triangle on the back and the stitch details on the straps. I managed all the prototyping and signed of production samples in collaboration with the client.

RESULTS: Shoreditch is not just another brand marque. It was designed in the district, under exacting standards and with a unique character to appeal to travellers world-wide.

DISCIPLINES: Brand design, Product design, Marketing Material, Website and Packaging

BACKGROUND: Founded in 1928, Colibri grew from humble origins in an East London workshop into a globally successful brand. But by the 1990s the brand’s fortunes had taken a turn. The present owners acquired the business in 2009 with the aim of recreating the brand as a holistic lifestyle business fit for the future.

BRIEF: Resurrecting an icon. A complete re-brand from head to toe (Brand, Marketing + Products). Moving Colibri from being an outdated lighter business to a relevant modern cigar and men’s accessory brand. To build a team to take care of the entire branding spectrum – managing all design work, creating the product itself and marketing to distributors and end customers.

CREATIVE SOLUTION: We were keen to respect the brands heritage and liaise closely with the founder's family to unearth hidden secrets of the brand. Snippets of which helped us as we developed the Identity, brand story, guidelines and design philosophy – all centred on the Art Deco heritage of Colibri and its quirky Viennese founder Julius Lowenthal. A huge undertaking across three product ranges.

RESULTS: A vastly improved relationship with buyers and an ongoing partnership based on supporting their needs at retail. Sales increased by 30% in the first 2 months alone. Colibri is once again a thriving brand.
