Monster in the Closet
I wrote a kids book. It follows the story of a kid befriending the shy monster in his closet and going on a journey that ends in self-acceptance. It’s a celebration of diversity, of friendship, and of self-love. I worked with a few illustrator friends of mine over the years to get it finished, but

Iris Portraiture
I developed a photography technique that takes a macro photo of your iris and flattens it out into a beautiful landscape. I’ll share examples and a walkthrough at some point soon.

Chicken Tikka Mascara
It’s just orange mascara. It’s just a play on words. Interestingly when I was looking up how to make mascara, I found out one of the ingredients is rice powder.

Rick Roll’d: The Board Game
As an assignment during my first year of uni, I made a print-and-fold board game inspired by the iconic song-turned-meme. No idea where I’d find those files now. At the time I created a website and made myself a Twitter account so that I could share it with the world. Tagged Rick Astley. Got reported

Boobies
Remember the fun you had in secondary school maths classes writing rude words on your upside down calculator? Half of the fun was finding new words you could write. And it’s my pleasure to now take away that half of the fun. Boobies is a list of English language words you can write on a

There was discourse around this time about AI (artificial intelligence)

CIM blogs
I’ve written a couple provocative pieces for the CIM (Chartered Institute of Marketing). ‘Don’t get seduced by flies in urinals‘ was a response to nudging becoming quite trendy and over-used. The accompanying image was a fun one to commission. ‘Make everything difficult‘ was a pro-boost blog before boosts really had a name for themselves. Search

Horror Theory: A theory of motivation
You’re going to die. It’s the one thing I can say with any certainty. You’re going to die at least three times, almost certainly four, probably more. The first time you die it’ll probably be Mortal Ego-Death. Loss of one’s constructed sense of identity, capability and fulfilment. I think we probably all die a few
