Shipshape Studios Illustration/Design Forum
On Sunday 15th April I took part in the first Illustration & Design Forum run by Shipshape Studios; presenting a talk with advice for aspiring illustrators and designers!

Poste Mistress S/S 2012 Window Design
The design for the Poste Mistress store on Monmout St in Covent Garden this season was decided on quite easily – after presenting a few ideas, everyone agreed that this one was just that little bit different and more conceptual than usual; it’s also the first time we’ve done the two windows slightly differently so...

Inspiration: Miss Selfridge Flagship Store Redesign & ‘Designed By…’ Collection
I was out & about in Oxford St the other day and decided to stop by the new Miss Selfridge store as I’d heard it’s had a bit of a redesign. That turned out to be an understatement; it’s been transformed into some unrecogniseable from its former self. If anyone who’s been there knows, it...

Teal Appeal
I’m not entirely sure why, but I am absolutely obsessed with anything teal coloured at the moment. Day Dresses by Miss SelfridgePlatforms by Topshop A/W11 is certainly abundant with the colour right now; there’s a huge trend at the moment for anything jewel coloured; the deep, rich, sister tones that were everywhere during Spring/Summer. In...
Poste Mistress A/W11 Window Design
As I’ve mentioned previously, I’ve started a new job at Office Shoes! Very exciting. My time at Yumi was great, I learned a lot, but I felt it was time to move on. So I’m doing the same sort of thing, Graphic Design, POS and visuals for retail, just in a bigger company. So far...
