Pollenize uses the power of community and science to fight against pollinator decline.
Their mission is to promote and protect all pollinator species by bridging the gap between people and science to provide tangible solutions for our climate emergency.
Their work involves extracting data from their beehives for the good of the natural environment whilst coordinating community beekeeping, citizen science and rewilding schemes.
Their research on the honey bee will be used as a bioindicator of the health of our environment and as a vehicle to green recovery.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Pollenize since Day 1, when I designed their initial logo. I’ve since been inspired by the dedication they’ve shown to create an environmental organisation fighting climate change, they’ve run the hard yards and are now a Plymouth institution showing the city how it’s done. In January 2021 I updated the logo and brand creating something more versatile, to fit in with their wide-ranging exploits.

Another World Farms is a vertical farming project, set up by one of Plymouth’s pioneers of positive change - Jack Witek.
There are many issues with our current food economy; land usage, unpredictable harvest, ecological damage through pesticides, and pollution through transport emissions. Urban, vertical farming solves all of these. Food production is brought into the cities and thus closer to the customer. Land usage is shifted upwards rather than outwards, and perfect conditions can be maintained constantly to ensure consistent, high yield harvests.
Working with Jack is extremely enjoyable, as we both share a vision of showcasing green technology as something, youthful, exciting and revolutionary. Eco-sustainability is often portrayed as polite and apologetic, with this project, we wanted to be a little louder than that.
It’s early on in the journey for Jack right now, but keep an eye out for AWF over the next few years, it’s gonna be a gamechanger.

Branding project and promotional design for The Hutong Café.
The Hutong is a new, bespoke café at the entrance of the Royal William Yard. The business centres greatly around the number 3; set up by 3 members of the Harman family, using 3 cultural faculties to satisfy 3 initial senses. So it was this number that I developed the branding around. The 3 sides of a triangle connect and then continue. The sides become 3 separate lines, which can be deconstructed and re-assembled in endless combinations, to succinctly and/or abstractly portray different facets to the business. The three lines create a new alphabet inspired by The Hutong's Eastern roots.

In the midst of the unforeseen football drought - consequence of Covid-19 - a group of friends from Plymouth sought to create their own entertainment, and endeavoured to found a new football interest station. Thus Jogo Bonito was born.
As the creative director of the project, I have had a brilliant time working with both a great team, and an excellent name; Jogo Bonito, or in English - The Beautiful Game.
