Soren..Boutique Barbers



Soren is a new Belfast-born boutique barbershop built on creativity and style consciousness. They're for those who want more from a haircut: delivering refined style, space, and sentiment.Soren are forward-thinking, always learning. It's what lets them deliver a contemporary experience inside and outside the chair. Through high-value service, curated spaces, and continuous education, they push the boundaries of the craft and inspire others in the process.The brand's essence stems from this emphasis on people and product. It's naked and natural, yet still considered. The visual identity balances contemporary principles with traditional quiet luxury.

Less is More..Festival of Minimalism



Less is More is a festival that showcases the beauty in simplicity.The original phrase, popularised by architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, suggests that simplicity is more effective than excess, as it allows for greater clarity and focus.Minimalism revolves around order, where shape, space, and structure are carefully curated. These principles became the foundation for the festival's identity—a geometric design system that is flexible and applicable.This project received 1st Place in Visual Communication at GradEX 2024, voted by Girl&Bear, VCCP.

We Got You..Men's Mental Health


The brief was to create an advertising campaign and strategy that addresses a United Nations Sustainable Development Goal and encourages social or environmental good.TW: An ever-growing concern in today's society is suicide. We're seeing that cases are predominantly among men, with an increase in cases among the youth—largely due to lack of access to treatment, and insufficient open conversation.To highlight the issue, We Got You aims to bring clarity to signs of poor mental health and encourage more conversation for young men.

Omar+..R&B for the Ravers


Omar+ is a fast-rising, Top 100 DJ, vocalist, and producer recognised for blending signature new-school R&B vocals with deep house production.He credits regular trips to Mumbai as a teenager with driving the late-night aesthetic of his music—a city he describes as “intense and fully 24-hour”. When developing his visuals, the key is depicting the electric energy of his music, while honouring the styling of his classic R&B inspirations.
