Book a Project Conversation
If you’re responsible for a place that needs identity, connection, or public understanding, this page explains how commissioning works, and what happens next.
Commissioning a public artwork rarely starts with a finished brief. It starts with a conversation about the place, the people who use it, and what the project needs to achieve.
What I Do
I create site-specific public artworks that help places feel recognised, navigable, and worth caring about.
Using a structured mythmaking process; combining local research, community participation, and narrative design, I translate local history and lived experience into contemporary visual landmarks.
The work supports Placemaking Outcomes such as:
Identity and Belonging
Wayfinding and Visibility
Community Buy-in
Public Understanding of Change
Long-term Relevance in the Public Realm
How Commissioning Works
The process is collaborative, structured, and designed to reduce risk.
1. Project Conversation
We begin with a conversation about your site, objectives, constraints, and stakeholders. If we’re a good fit we can start the development process, if we’re not, there are no obligations and we can part ways.
2. Research & Story Development
I gather context through site research, local history, and, where appropriate, community engagement, identifying stories already embedded in the place.
3. Design & Direction
Concepts are developed with clear checkpoints, allowing stakeholders to review and refine direction before anything is locked in.
4. Delivery
The artwork is produced on site using professional materials and specialist finishes, with experience working on live public spaces and complex logistics.
5. Legacy
The finished work becomes part of the place’s identity, designed to endure, be understood, and be cared for over time.
What You Can Expect
Research-led, authored outcome. Local knowledge and stakeholder insight shape the work. What gets painted is a single authored image with the authority to carry a whole site.
Nothing generic. The narrative is specific to this place and these people.
Clear checkpoints. Set milestones so stakeholders can review direction before paint touches the wall.
Designed to last. The artwork supports identity, engagement and legacy, and it's built to endure physically.
Interior, hospitality and brand murals are also available. Details here

You don’t need a fully formed brief.
We’ll start with the place, and take it from there.
