In 2014 i created a small start up ‘Encase Designs’ where I designed, built, marketed and sold up-cycled vintage hi-fi systems. Encase was showcased across different local markets and gained the purchasing attention of multiple vintage boutiques. Following Encase Designs launch, We had the pleasure of being part of the opening of Sancho's Dirty Laundry gallery space in December 2014.
I created and maintained the brand’s web presence whilst launching and monitoring the brand’s respective and valued social media domains. Praise of the brand’s successful launch took the form of a feature in the January 2015 issue of Hooray magazine.
In 2017 a group of designers and myself decided we would take an hour out of the week to produce one poster every week for a year. There are no rules or guides to follow so we have the chance to experiment with ideas, tool and styles that we don’t always get the opportunity to use while working with clients. These are my designs.
