Public Art Shaped by Community — Banbury BID

Celebrating Banbury’s identity through community-led storytelling, design, and film.

We co-created interactive public artworks and short films with local residents, highlighting Banbury’s voices, culture, and creativity. From everyday stories to unsung heroes, this project transforms public spaces into vibrant, inclusive experiences—bringing art and community together.

Remembering The Willow

Exploring memories through archive innovation and iconic design

A collaborative project by ThomFong and the University of York that reimagines archive innovation. Through UX-driven design, rich research, and iconic visuals by Vicki Fong, the interactive archive preserves the legacy of York’s beloved Willow venue and invites community contributions.

Conservation Activity Packs — The Aspinall Foundation

Inspiring young minds through creative wildlife education.

We created a series of engaging activity books for children, supporting The Aspinall Foundation’s conservation mission at Howletts and Port Lympne wildlife parks.

Packed with fun facts, games, and storytelling, these educational resources turn each visit into a hands-on learning experience—encouraging environmental awareness and a love for endangered animals.

Designing Stories of Exchange and Connection

Transforming cultural insights into an artwork and film that inspire learning and collaboration

A creative cultural exchange between Belper School and Toyota City, guided by ThomFong. Through design-thinking, students turned memories into a film and mural—nurturing cross-cultural reflection, storytelling skills, and community pride.

A Place of Opportunity — Banbury BID

Showcasing Banbury’s thriving independent business community.

Commissioned by Banbury BID, this short film series celebrates the passion and resilience of local shops, makers, and creatives—highlighting the people powering the town’s economic and cultural regeneration.

Building Digital UK (BDUK)

Making government research clear and accessible

We partnered with the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (formerly BDUK) to transform complex research into engaging, easy-to-understand content. Through visual storytelling, data visualisation, and content design, we improved accessibility for both internal teams and public audiences—helping drive better communication, transparency, and impact.

PROCESS EAST — University of East London

Showcasing UEL’s emerging fashion talent through bold branding and design.

We created a dynamic visual identity for PROCESS EAST, including catwalk show design, exhibition stands, and promotional materials—connecting Fashion and Textiles students with industry opportunities and spotlighting UEL as a hub of creative innovation.

Personalised Identity for Artworks South Yorkshire

Inclusive illustrations that empower adults with learning disabilities and autism.

We developed a warm, accessible visual identity for Artworks South Yorkshire—featuring bespoke illustrations that reflect the creativity, individuality, and aspirations of its community. This identity supports the charity’s mission to foster independence, self-expression, and lifelong learning through the arts.

Blame Culture for Riskee and the Ridicule

Bold, unapologetic artwork that captures the rebellious spirit of the band.

We created a striking visual identity for Blame Culture, an album by punk-rap band Riskee and the Ridicule. The artwork amplifies their raw energy, political voice, and boundary-pushing ethos—translating their sound into bold, impactful design that resonates with their fanbase and reinforces their unique brand in the music scene.

Strategy Meets Creativity

We work at the intersection of design, education, and social innovation—translating complex ideas into accessible, actionable, and beautifully designed outcomes. Our work is grounded in human-centred design and focused on building resilient brands and engaged communities.
