Editorial Design and Art Direction
I love collaborating with expert creatives – illustrators, animators, photographers, filmmakers – to make stuff that stuns. Here are some selected pieces of Art Direction and design for editorial projects.
Pushing the visual narrative forward
I commissioned a range of illustrators, photographers and videographers for CALM’s editorial content. From support guides to long-form stories and social content, the aim was always to shun stereotypes and push the visual narrative around mental health topics forward.
