Gilles & Cecilie Studio was commissioned by creative agency, Thomas.Mattews, to create designs for multiple wards at the Chelsea Children’s Hospital in London.  Partnering with fellow illustrator, Malika Favre, they developed a visual narrative to interpret Thomas.Matthews’ creative concept of “My Universe.”  The implementation of the concept aimed to enhance a young patient’s experience in the hospital through color and art.  Each ward has its own family of alien characters that complement the the “activity” that takes place there.

Partnering with galoshes startup, SWIMS, Gilles & Cecilie Studio designed packaging that reflects the busy lifestyle these overshoes allow you to lead. To show the usefulness of the shoes they illustrated the galoshes stepping into puddles and referenced weather forecast graphics throughout the background.
