I'm an artist and musician based in London. As a freelance designer I mainly produce artwork for musicians, focusing on the individual characteristics and stories of my collaborators. I explore a range of different mediums to create a sense of curiosity and craft. I also create logos and branding guidelines as well as static and animated promotional material for social media and print-ready files for vinyl, CDs, clothing and posters. I’m proficient with Adobe Creative Suite, and various hand craft techniques, especially drawing and print making.
My sound-based work is experimental. I perform regularly under the alias Haddow, a persona for the exploration of home-made instruments and found sounds. These activities have led to hosting my own workshops, teaching as a visiting lecturer at universities and co-hosting live music events. I’m experienced in a range of recording techniques, producing records and compositions for radio and have also learnt the fundamentals of working with wood and metal.
Communication and accessibility are important to me and whether through art, design, music or more directly with teaching, I am actively invested in local and worldwide creative activites and spaces.
