Welcome to my brand identity studio on Slanemark

I draw logotypes and identity systems for small makers who would rather be remembered than merely noticed. Most projects begin in pencil and end as a compact kit — a primary mark, two secondary lockups, a type scale and a colour range a team can run without me in the room. I like briefs where the constraint is real: a two-colour print run, an embroidered patch, a sign that has to read from the far side of a yard. Recent work includes a coastal cider press, a regional sound archive and two furniture workshops. I take on four identity projects a year and I am booking from March.
