Initiated #bertsboards as a way of engaging Bert & May’s Instagram followers. This weekly moodboard, featuring a selection of Bert & May’s products, was devised to inspire interactivity and the exchange of ideas.

Designed and installed a Bert & May pop-up shop, located at Heal’s on Tottenham Court Road. A satellite showcase of the brand’s offering, the concept for the space was based on a haberdashery, displaying a wall of tiles, paints and fabrics to flank a bespoke central layout table. Here, the customer was invited to create their own moodboard, or #bertsboard, using the samples on display, as a first step to planning their interior.
