I recently updated my logo and it’s been the back of my jobs list longer than I’ve wanted! 🥲 Who puts off their branding/updates? 😅

But happy with how it’s turned out ~ it feels a lot more ‘me’ now. I’ve been loving getting more into illustrating lettering, it’s been a bigger part of my business these last two years and I felt my logo needed to show that side of my identity.

This also has some motion to it which I’m going to share and add to my website soon 😊

Happy to share more from the Hannah Maybank Exhibition, UN—STILL at New Art Gallery, Walsall this Summer. The exhibition coincided with the gallery’s 25th celebrations and is housed in the temporary exhibition space, while also spilling into the permanent collections, Flowers and Still Life.

I loved working closely with Hannah and Curator Julie Brown on the brand, print and interpretation for this exhibition. I particularly enjoyed colour matching the exhibition brand to her signature pink sofa and choosing colours that complemented her artwork. Hannah carefully creates her own pigments, so how we played with colour was considered throughout the guide and exhibition.

The guide features a spot UV pattern from the sofa which sits centrally in the exhibition, the family sofa that has played a central role in her studio.

I’m currently getting some of the editorial shots of the guide photographed so I’ll share as soon as I have them.

UN—STILL is exhibiting until 17 May 2026

Hello! It’s me 🙋🏻‍♀️🙂‍↔️ it’s nice to drop in and get back in to posting 💫

A part of my absence has been the busy-ness of this year but also getting an injury in my wrist, but I’m back and I’m healing!

I’ve been working on a lot of brand identity this year, namely some arts and culture projects and community branding which is great to see launch soon. I’ll be sharing more of these in the coming days and weeks ~ 💛😊

Lovely to be able to share more print from The Joy Project exhibition, featuring maple veneer badges and wildflower coasters. There was a sustainable focus from the Youth Panel so we worked with them to create print that would that align with their values, the joy brand and that would also act as spreading ‘joy’ to others.

Project in Collaboration with New Art Gallery Walsall, Youth Collections Panel and Julie Brown.
