Whilst working at Teemill, I became the core designer for their flagship brand Rapanui, which embodies sustainable coastal living, marine life, and planet conscious living.
I worked on a variety of projects for the brand, including a collaboration with Shark Trust, a recycled garments collection, and a seabirds collection, as well as designing new printwear throughout the year.
All designs shown are currently available to buy on Rapanui's website.

The above 3 designs were created using a thick marker pen on paper, and scanning the artwork in to adjust digitally.
Character Illustrations:
This collection of illustrations is themed around animals interacting with human activities, giving Rapanui their own spin on wildlife t-shirts that reflects their sense of humour and brand voice.
'Circular By Nature' - Recycled Collection:
Dandelion T-Shirt
Giant Waterlily T-Shirt
Jellyfish T-Shirt
Sea Urchin T-Shirt
Star Spiral T-Shirt
Tree Rings T-Shirt
The recycled collection is inspired by Rapanui's Remill technology, which turns old garments in to new products by using 50% recycled/remilled cotton in a T-Shirt - this style of production is known as a circular economy. The collection's theme linked to this method by only choosing subjects that are circular within nature.
Coastal Inspired Womenswear:
These womenswear designs were inspired by a mixture of surf clothing and vintage naturalist illustrations.
