I worked with the amazing and talented folk at DutchScot providing key art as part of a branding project for Shanghai Me, a fine dining experience located in Dubai, Doha with upcoming locations in Monaco and London.

Shanghai Me is the epitome of Art Deco elegance located in Dubai’s International Finance Centre, the cuisine inspired by culinary traditions of East Asia. 

The Art Deco interior of the restaurant is a homage to the city’s golden era when it was a melting pot of different characters, cultures and personalities. A prosperous place where ‘chambermaids could turn into princesses’.

Using a series of 1930s characters with split personalities, this idea celebrates this transformation from ‘Me’ to ‘Shanghai Me’. Characters are given a surreal Shanghai Me alter ego based on the animals from the Chinese Zodiac.

 An ongoing series of personal experimentation and conceptual illustrations inspired by all that makes me curious.

An ongoing series of personal experimentation focussed on the more figurative and dynamic.

5 spot illustrations created for the Words of Type Encyclopedia. Each spot depicts a concept or term used in the field of Typography and is part of a larger collection of over 200 terms across multiple languages.

The encyclopedia is part of the greater Words of Type platform which serves to create and nurture a community with a common interest in Typography.

Through conversations, lectures, workshops and beyond, the platform makes typography more accessible, serving as an amazing companion for creatives at all levels to become more curious about type.

Words of Type was founded by Lisa Huang, an independent typeface designer specialising in Latin and Hanzi scripts. After finishing an MA in Graphic Design she completed the renowned Type@Cooper condensed program in NYC and went on to complete an MA at TypeMedia, the Hague.
