Welcome to my old design portfolio — a bit of an archive from another internet era, when Tumblr was the place to be! It’s where I first started sharing work and finding my footing as a designer. Most of what’s here was created during my years as a partner in Chick & Owl Design Co. with my sister, and from my time as Graphic Designer at the KWAG (2009–2012) and the Stratford Festival (2014–2016). These days I run Clever Line Design, focusing on branding, illustration, and print. Tumblr may not be the main stage anymore, but it’s still a good place to revisit my roots.

In honour of Threadless's 20th Anniversary I remade one of my early @threadless submissions, “Nothing but Flowers” (2009), now called “And as thing fell apart, nobody paid much attention” (2020).
Just for fun, I’ve also included some of my research, early drafts and rough work, to show how far I’ve come as a designer over the past 10 years and how participating on @threadless helped shape me into the artist I am today.
"Keep Up The Fight! Wash Your Hands" My submission to the #UNOpenBrief to Creatives to help stop the spread of #COVID19 via www.talenthouse.com. Give me a ‘Like’ here: https://bit.ly/2V3Sd80
Done as a tribute to vintage wartime posters (because this is a war!) the poster illustrates the effectiveness of washing your hands with soap and water for 20 seconds by showing dirty fingerprints being repelled and eradicate by a sudsy bar of soap.
"Whangdoodles & Hornsozzlers & Snozzwangers & rotten Vermicious Knids and now Covids?! The Oompa Loompas had it right, stay inside! It's safer (most of the time)."

Its been a while since I submitted something to @threadless I'm excited to see how this does! This one is titled FISHNETS AND UNDER SEA DRAG (or have a whale of a time and don't get caught up in the drama). ONLY 3 DAYS TO GO!!! Give it a vote if you like it. LINK: https://bit.ly/2IsyVSI
