Case Studies
From concept sketches that win pitches to live event visuals that shape experiences, my work helps agencies and brands bring ideas to life. Below are real-world examples of how my concept art and storyboards have delivered results.
ID. Collective - Centrepiece Melbourne Park
-
The Challenge.
I was engaged by ID. Collective on behalf of CENTREPIECE Melbourne Park to create a series of illustrations for the AIME 2025 event. This included pre-event themed visuals of the Grand Hall, live illustration at the expo booth, and bespoke artwork for a branded tote bag and room spray bottle to enhance the visitor experience.
-
Craft.
In the lead-up to AIME, I developed 14 distinct event scenarios and built a library of over 100 bespoke illustrated assets. These included furniture, lighting, digital screens, props, and people—each designed to help bring CENTREPIECE’s Grand Hall to life in a variety of imaginative formats. This asset bank gave me the flexibility to quickly visualise custom concepts during the live event.
-
Engage.
I illustrated live at the CENTREPIECE booth during the Aime event, creating tailored concepts on the fly using my laptop and broadcasting the process to a 4-metre-wide LED screen. The live illustration drew steady interest from attendees, many of whom stopped to ask questions or offer enthusiastic feedback. Many were gifted one of the limited-edition illustrated tote bags.

“Paul’s unique illustration style and calm disposition made for a seamless execution of our vision. His attention to detail, enthusiasm and general positive nature was a delight to work with. We really loved the collaboration and look forward to working together again soon!”

The Challenge:
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

“Paul’s sketches bring our ideas to life in a way that keeps things flexible yet compelling. His work has helped us sell big ideas with confidence”
Havas Boulevard - Netflix Activations
-
Reimagine.
I was commissioned by Havas Blvd to illustrate four immersive set design concepts for a Netflix activation, transforming three luxury portable toilets and a larger powder room into stylised, instantly recognisable environments from Stranger Things, Squid Game, Emily in Paris, and Heartbreak High.
-
Build it.
The challenge was to capture each show’s iconic aesthetic and support Havas in presenting a compelling creative vision to Netflix. Each concept went through a lively, collaborative process—refined through rounds of feedback, tweaks, and creative back-and-forth between myself, the agency, and the client.
-
Grow it.
Seeing my illustrated concepts come to life on Sydney Harbour was a proud moment. The immersive sets for Stranger Things, Squid Game, Emily in Paris, and Heartbreak High drew excited crowds, with visitors capturing and sharing their experiences.
