Grow Speke Gate Design

Grow Speke is a community garden in South Liverpool, delivered in partnership with South Liverpool Homes, Groundwork, Merseyside Police and Blackburne House. Accessed by local people of all ages, including schools and youth groups, the space is used to host healthy, outdoor activities, where young people can develop their gardening knowledge and skills.

I designed x2 sets of Art Nouveau inspired gates that book end the Grow Speke site. They are made from Cor-ten steel and glass. Gate engineering by Tommy Knox, coloured glass discs made by Definitive 1.

I also designed the identity at Nonconform.

A nice shot of the rusting process in the sunlight.

The bespoke glass discs sparkle when the sun hits them. The swirling cut out shapes cast beautiful shadows on surrounding walls and the ground at different times of day.

Experience

I have been working in the creative sector since studying graphic design and illustration at LJMU. I started out painting murals and attending graffiti events – working primarily with spray paint at that time. I would then progress to painting large scale corporate murals once I graduated and began a placement at Nonconform – where I still work today. In my university days, I was often told by tutors that ‘you would never work in an agency’

Hilariously I hated computers whilst at uni, and preferred making everthing from scratch. Even now I try to be as hands on as possible, but obviously using a computer is inevitable with the job I do.
