Sybarites

The Sybarites are a luxury consultancy specialising in travel, and they needed an editable one-page microsite. I created their brand from scratch, pitching tone, image direction, and typography. Visit the site.

Red Planet Pictures

Red Planet Pictures produces high-end TV drama, well known for Death in Paradise and Jane Austin's Sanditon. I worked with the agency Paradise London to develop a highly customised design. Visit the site.

Custom Components

The Red Planet site needed to be polished, just like its productions. Rather than standard Vimeo or YouTube video skins, I added their showreels with a bespoke full-screen UI, along with custom carousels—for their shows and their team.

GB-Rail

GB-Rail is a traditional company with over a century of expertise. Modernising a company steeped in tradition and collaborating with my favourite photographer resulted in a very satisfying project. Visit the site.

A Niche Catalogue

The objective of the site was to show a catalogue of products and position GB-Rail as experts in a niche market. I created 10 product category pages and art directed imagery for the website.
