Asphalt Commission with Yinka Ilori

Wednesday 14th July

I had some really good news and some really bad news this week. I found out I have covid after getting really unwell, but I also found out the same day that I won a competition run by the City of London Asphalt commisssion, London Design festival and Yinka Ilori, and my design for a colourful crossing would be installed in the city for design week.

As part of the prize I would receive mentorship from Yinka Ilori and my design will be painted on to the street semi permanently. I’m really excited to be able to bring some soothing and energising vibes to the streets of London. Here’s my entry.
