London-based designer and illustrator Owen Gildersleeve is an expert at papercrafts. In his latest work for a corporate client, Owen Gildersleeve mixes his knowledge of papercrafts with typography to create a fun and informative typograph for lactose-free dairy company, LactoFree.

Gildersleeve’s work is well known internationally. He has been featured in the [New York Times](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/native), Wired and the Guardian, and he has also done corporate work for companies like Nestea and [Cadbury](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/my-cadbury-era).

The [Owen Gildersleeve LactoFree](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/short-n-sweet-espresso-martini) ad features “choose your own adventure”-style questions that each person must answer to reach “the land of the dairy.” The ad is comedic, but the highlight is really on Gildersleeve’s skills. Each diagrammatic element was “hand-crafted out of paper and card,” according to Gildersleeve.
