Illustrating beer coasters that get people talking about money, and help break the stigma around financial struggles.
Working with Iona Townley at Heroine, I was commissioned to illustrate a set of beer coasters designed to spark honest conversations about salaries, debt and the everyday realities of managing money. Each coaster weaves a chosen question into an illustration inspired by lifestyle and money, creating an approachable way to tackle a sometimes uncomfortable subject. The idea was simple, some of our most meaningful conversations happen over a drink. Whether it’s a pint with friends, a coffee catch up or a quiet dinner for two, these moments offer a chance to open up and share what’s really on our minds.







To create this broad range of illustrations, a lot of sketch concepts were created...
