Sex Workers for Migrants’ Rights 2026 Calendar

Layout design, art direction


I was commissioned to design this 2026 charity calendar by a friend who works in the public sector. They wanted to  respond to the current political climate with a sign of solidarity between two marginalised groups. After receiving the photography selects, I designed and laid out this calendar, as well as a printed insert of an essay and other relevant information. I oversaw the colour printing on a risograph printer, and helped with sales and distribution. 







Oh Comely Covers

Design, art direction, photo editing 


Series of covers done during my time as Art Director of Oh Comely magazine (now called Oh!), which I also redesigned (here).






Oh Comely Redesign 

Design, art direction, photo editing 

I was tasked with re-designing Oh Comely magazine (now called Oh!), a much-loved indie title popular in the UK and throughout Europe and North America.

My goal was to keep true to the audience of the magazine whilst updating the typography, grids and look and feel.

The end result was a full redesign and templating of a dynamic range of pages including the cover design, features, short features and front-of-book sections that could be adapted to a wide range of stories.
