Celeste Clift

My design work is always strongly informed by research, whether that’s user interviews, competitive analysis or contextual research. Before jumping into visuals, I take time to understand who I’m designing for and what problems need solving (a skill which was crucial in my design of Sero!).

I also love to incorporate my hand-drawn illustrations into my work, adding visual flair through custom icons, character work, and detailed graphics. When paired with clean typography and design, I find that using illustrations helps to make information clearer and more engaging. These hand-drawn elements often help me to bridge the gap between complex ideas and user understanding.

Sneaker Pimps, Becoming X redesign

In this project I set out to redesign the cover of Sneaker Pimps’ debut album Becoming X, releasing a limited edition LP in line with the albums 30 year anniversary in 2026. 

With the aid of multiple generative AI tools, I was able to create my idea of a miniature nostalgic green soldier figurine of the band’s lead singer Kelli Ali. This solution creates a transfixing unusual image, both intriguing and unnerving, really suggestive of the eclectic trip-hop genre, but specifically of Sneaker Pimps’ sound.

Further from the album cover I built a visual identity around this base idea, creating a zoetrope animation record, intuitive A and B side stickers, a collectable toy and a product launch site.

Nuroosa: The Gathering Place branding

Nuroosa: The Gathering Place will be a venue hiring business opening in Spring 2026, with one modern building which shall accommodate weddings, wakes, corporate get aways, and well being visits.

The project outcome focused on the venue space, with an abstract shape of the building made from the negative of fluid, natural lines. These lines emulated the trees and natural environment of the venue, while are also suggestive of the companies values of growth and sustainability.
