Waltham Forest Pride 2026 put out a call for logo designs for this years’ events. My submission was selected. The new logo combines the existing LB Waltham Forest logo with a rainbow in the colours of the Progressive Pride Flag designed by Daniel Quasar. Here are the full-colour & 1-colour versions.

I led walks at Walthamstow Wetlands exploring connections between queerness & nature in July. With a newly designed & illustrated map showing plants in the area with queer interpretations. A collaboration between Waltham Forest Pride 2026, @ldnwildlifetrust.bsky.social, & @queerbotany.bsky.social.

The original logo for A Dash of Lavender was designed by me in 2022 based off the Worshipful Society of Apothacaries of London coat of arms, featuring the diety Apollo (god of the sun and healing). I revised it and removed the figure, focusing on the sun and lavender.
