Art Direction

What it is

Sometimes the brief isn't a drawing, it's a feeling. What should people sense when they walk in? I work that out with you — the mood, the palette, what goes where — and then I paint it: walls, ceilings, shutters, corners nobody thought to use.

Not decoration applied at the end. The art is part of why the place works, and why people photograph it and come back.

How it works

  2. 02Set the directionMood, palette, which surfaces carry it.
  3. 03Paint itOn site, by hand, surface by surface.
  4. 04Open the doorsThe room becomes its own photograph.

Opening a place? Let's decide how it feels.

A café, a bar, a hotel floor — bring me in early and the art becomes part of the plan.
