Music for veterans

This was a lovely project to work on with the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra. They took a small ensemble to Broughton House, a nursing home in Salford for military veterans, and put on a concert for them.

How I helped Alest break free of the accountancy stereotype

The clean, playful graphics are designed to demonstrate its reliability and user-friendliness. The product is plain white and doesn’t look especially sexy on its own, so it was important to place it in situ within a […]

Our first music video

Strings Attached are an acoustic wedding band/string quartet hybrid, based in Manchester. They’re part of a wider collective of bands called Good Indeed Music, who asked us to create a music video for a new Strings Attached medley. The plan was to make it feel like a live performance and to help potential clients visualise the […]
