Brief Summary
Formed in the art districts of London, Eve Spencer Ltd specialises in wallpaper & fabric design for commercial and private interiors projects.

Striking or subtle, and often a magical blend of both, Eve Spencer takes inspiration from geometry, the natural world and interpretations of the everyday. 

Eve Spencer designs can be made for almost any bespoke application where a brand, product or interior requires. The exclusive and carefully selected product range is manufactured in England, bringing outstanding quality to individual pieces.

The flexibility of the studio's output has enabled Eve Spencer to take on projects and responsibilities large and small; private and commercial.

Popular applications include wallpaper, soft furnishings & accessories, and standout fashion, while the invitation to collaborate on interior design is welcomed, be it projects for subtle change or significant transformations.

Battle of Algiers exclusive re-release
This film was an important company launch and I provided artistic direction for the UK distribution. The key proposition required the creation of accompanying artwork portfolio with the view to capturing a new audience, whilst acknowledging aficionados of this film. I generated significant public noise for the project across various media channels. The film was a key success for Maiden Voyage Pictures, even netting a bursary of £100,000 to upscale its distribution digitally.
