University of Hull

Brand Identity


Comprehensive rebrand for the University of Hull in the UK. I worked as Design Director alongside a talented team of individuals on a complete rebrand. The project included a newly illustrated coat of arms & brandmark, colour palette, typography, design system, motion design principles, motion templates, photography library, signature music, sonic logos, verbal identity, icon library, digi-display/social campaign, and a brand video.




The University of Hull needed to reposition themselves in the crowded and competitive UK University market. They had lost a feeling of prestige – something we endeavoured to revive while simultaneously making them feel like a cutting edge, progressive, and contemporary institution.

An electric chartreuse green colour cuts through the noise, giving them a visual identity like no other Uni in the UK, accompanied by a design system that can dial the intensity up and down according to its context.

Brand refresh for 7-Eleven Australia. This was a large project with a lot of moving parts and multiple stakeholders.

Looking to reposition themselves in the marketplace and improve the perception of their food offerings, a full brand refresh was undertaken. Starting with the new brand platform ‘Wonderfully easier’, the visual ID was stripped down to its bare bones and rebuilt to reflect this sentiment. This included a cleaned up logo lockup, a new typeface with custom glyphs, revamped photography, an expanded colour palette, new outdoor advertising and point of sale templates and a completely new 100+ page brand guideline document.

Visual Identity


Logo roundel for the Four Pillars sub-brand Made From Gin—a range of edible products created from the leftover botanicals used in the gin making process.

Drawing inspiration from fruit stickers, the logomark integrates the Four Pillars parent brand with a fresh identity that has a personality of its own.

Cube is a lending broker that specializes in personal and commercial loans, as well as SMSFs. Over the last few years they have noticed a growing trend: they are not only competing with other brokers but also with fintech and digital lending products. They wanted a brand update that felt innovative and would reposition them as capable players in this space, while differentiating themselves from other brokers at the same time.

They required brand strategy, a fresh visual identity, bespoke brand photography, a range of print and digital touchpoints such as stationery and a new website, as well as an online style guide.
