Client was launching a luxury rental property in South Tyrol. I visited the place and created the branding, from the name, the logo and the guest information provision and wayfinding.
The play, written by Bernhard Aichner, a prominent Austrian crime thriller writer is a self-deprecating piece that makes fun of the usual gore and carnage of his books. The challenge was to capture that whilst also making it clear that the play is incredibly funny. Nailed it!
I created the poster and all the promotional materials, both for print and social media.
Carmen Sanders Gratl is an Austrian actor and intimacy coordinator based in Innsbruck. Together we designed a website to showcase her work. Organising her multifaceted skills and experience into an accessible tool for students and casting directors was the biggest challenge which turned out to be solved with simplicity and elegance.
Typography, portrait photography and the website colour theme all work together.
The client was ready to pivot careers and become self employed. It felt like a very risky move that required a solid strategy. I created the website and graphic identity of his business, from the name, the feel and the marketing strategy.
A world renowned musicologist, organist and baroque instrument collector Christopher Stembridge approached me to create a website that could be a repository for all his recordings, writings, and concerts, as well as a catalogue of his rare string instruments. I spent many weeks getting to know him, photographing and digitising his work, and then created this website that a)embodies his personality and b)displays all the facets of his work in a coherent and logical way.
I created this website to keep a diary of things I read and watch, as well as work on my writing style. I set myself a word count limit, both in honour of the OG twitter, and because it forces me to be eloquent and brief.
Poster and promotional postcards for Tennessee Blend, a Wild West play by Austrian theatre companies Staatstheater and Feinripp Ensemble. Sponsored by ÖBB, the Austrian railway company, the public is taken by dedicated trains to the roundhouse of Innsbruck’s main train station, where the play is staged. The posters are displayed on commuter trains throughout the Tirol region for the duration of the performance run, March through May 2022. Designed by Sol Kawage, the title is set in Job Clarendon Variable, as are the postcards with quotes from the play. The postcard information is set in Acumin Variable.

Dear how to is a year-long project, in which three information designers explore the possibilities of instruction design. Each week for a year, finishing in August 2017, we think up instructions, draw them on a blank postcard and send them in turn to one or the other. In order to push ourselves to be as clear as possible with our diagrams and drawings, we avoid text entirely. This means that the instructions that we draw go beyond language barriers. We choose the tasks to draw instructions for from our day-to-day lives, and they comprise a catalogue of sorts of our modern world. The results are presented weekly in a website called dearhow.to, where viewers are encouraged to read the postcards and try to make out their meanings, before revealing the title.
In 2016 I developed, designed and illustrated a board game to teach languages.
My colleague David Dickinson, an expert information designer for patient information, asked me to redo his company's website in order for it to be more modern, responsive, and easier to navigate. While I was at it I decided to give it a strong graphic image.
In 2014 I created the graphic identity for baroque orchestra MBO. At the time they did not have one, and all their material was done by the musicians themselves. I created the logo and colour palette, typographic system for promotional materials, concert programmes as well as their new website.
In 2014 I worked on the design of the Isokon Gallery with friend and colleague Tom de Gay.
In 2014 I designed the Hampstead trail map, to guide visitors of the Isokon Gallery to a walking tour of modernist houses in Hampstead.

The Bruneck (South Tyrol) campus of the Free University of Bolzano commissioned me a wayfinding programme for their main site – a listed medieval building in the heart of town. The main challenge was that none of the elements could be drilled or bolted to walls, and no suspended signs were allowed either. Free-standing blade signs and direct-to-wall screenprints were the solution.
People tend to look away from topics like violence against women, and organisations that help women often struggle to reach a wide audience. The installation used the street as a canvas to send various messages, in a way impossible to miss. Le Corbusier was chosen because it has presence and elegance, which are hard to find together in stencil typefaces. The messages included an emergency contact number, and messages for men: “solidarity towards women is what makes you a man”. The installation was realized for a Visual Communication project at the Free University of Bolzano, under the supervision of Prof. Giorgio Camuffo.
