CREATIVE PRODUCER
The Isles of Scilly
Board Game
​
​A self-initiated project; The Isles of Scilly Board Game brought something a little bit different to a saturated local merchandise market. It was designed to unite people, whether a group of friends or multiple generations of a family, away from screens.
​
Management from ideation to launch was my sole responsibility and all illustration and design work was my own.
Following on from the success of this project, I was commissioned to manage another board game project, now in its final stages, in collaboration with another British visitor economy business. I'll share more when I have the green light to do so!

Scilly Snap
The idea - a simple, bright and colourful Scilly themed pack of picture cards that would appeal to young children. Brightly coloured backgrounds were added for both visual appeal and to assist those unable to read the descriptors.
​
Designed and produced in 2024, these cards were produced at the same factory as The Isles of Scilly Board Game to control costs, saving money on freight forwarding by synchronising order and delivery.
Jigsaw Puzzles
Designed and managed an island inspired range of jigsaws in collaboration with the Great British Jigsaw Company focussing on 'limited edition', small quantities of a broad number of designs, including both 500 and 1000 piece options. The idea to appeal to the widest possible demographic, within an already specialised market.
