ruby rare
location: margate, kent
ruby rare is a sexual health and sex positivity educator, author of sex ed: a guide for adults, part of BBC’s ‘on the cards - understanding HIV’ documentary, journalist, co-founder of the body love sketch club, and that’s just listing a few of her wonderful achievements.
after already establishing herself on social media (with a following of over 90k+) ruby thought it was time to invest in a custom built website, where she could showcase all her amazing work, and have a safe space on the internet where people could find her. and she had one important factor: that the website reflected her personality; fun, colourful, friendly and NAKED.
so my mission was to do just that: create a website that reflected her joyful, colourful and bubbly personality and showcase her fab achievements so far…
the process
when ruby and i first sat down to discuss her ideas for the website, it was clear to me that she wanted something that really reflected her personality; bubbly, colourful, fun, sexy & confident. as well as it being a safe, yet fun space where she could shout about all her wonderful achievements, projects and work thus far. there was no initial moodboard for this project, just a mutual understanding and vision. for ruby, it was so important for her website to really feel like her.
mariachi margate
location: margate, kent
opened in 2021, mariachi margate is a tequila and mezcal bar, serving simple Mexican street style away, located in the centre at margate. the husband and wife owners, have travelled every year to the little surf town on the west coast of mexico - named ‘sayulita’ and were settled there for 2019-2021. From here their vision was to return back to the UK and MARIACHI was born.
my mission was to create a simple, yet stunning website that looked cohesive with the interior design within mariachi itself, whilst also showcase their unique and colourful cocktails.
the process
chris & mairead, founders of mariachi, had a few websites that they really liked the look off, with the common themes being; simple, clean, easy to navigate & picture heavy. i used these sites as references and worked on replicating the simplicity, whilst factoring in mariachi’s unique visual aesthetic seen within the bar itself and through their branding. whilst playing homage to their roots in saylita, mexico, which is where this all started. cocktail imagery by me.
archive kitchen & homestore
archivehomestore.co.uk
location: ramsgate, kent
opened in 2015, archive kitchen & homestore is a design-led lifestyle store located in ramsgate, kent. their mission was to create a beautiful space that brings together speciality coffee and delicious food, in a place that offers a unique collection of interested home-wares.
my mission, was to tie this vision together through a beautifully curated website that is instantly recognisable with their unique aesthetic and also produce a social media strategy plan that allows them to connect with their customers and followers whilst providing content that shows off their delicious food, style, products and coffee and ‘sell's’ the danish-inspired lifestyle that their store provides. it had to be easily navigable with imagery that showed off the danish-interiors and food photography that captured their famous meals.
we also decided that having an online store would be a great outlet for them to have to allow people who don’t live near by to have the opportunity to purchase products.
the process
initial ideas to moodboards, concepts to key words and endless inspiration are the main factors when it comes to designing a website that portrays a brands vision, business goals and style. i really believe that it’s so important to have all the factors of your visual business cohesive so that you start to build a brand and brand awareness. for archive, we knew simplicity really was key when it came to their website (and socials!)

mark wanted a website that performed not only as a portfolio, but as a place where potential clients could get in touch to discuss any up and coming projects. we wanted a website that would showcase all his gorgeous photography, and it was really important from the beginning that the design would be very clean and simplistic to allow his images to really speak. not only that, but it also needed to be very simple in terms of navigation, so that potential clients could easily flick through his site, and imagery and really find what they were looking for.

the light keeper
thelightkeeper.co.uk
location: margate, kent
established in 2016, the light keeper is a lighting shop located in margate, specialising in vintage and specialty designed illuminations.
mike wanted a website that was instantly recognisable and similar to his store; a wide space painted in a dark rich green, with a wide array of beautiful antique and new lighting. some hanging from the ceilings, some sitting in the shop window, or some are curated into a wall display intwined with greenery and homeware. all of this give off a very rustic-cozy-homely feel. not only that, but mike also creates his only light designs out the back of the shop, so having a ‘create your own’ was an absolute must for the website as this is definitely a USP for the light keeper
my job, was to tie all these aspects together into a website that explained what the shop was, who mike is, the services he and the shop offer, and the lamps and lights he sells.
the process
an initial discussion, a few café meetings, the ‘musts’ and the ‘rather nots’. sometimes a mood board isn’t needed when the idea is already in your mind and you’re basing a website on a shop. so in that sense it was easier to gage the colours, the aesthetic and the pages with the below reference images.
