About me

I am a freelance print designer, designing prints for fashion and giftware. My Design's have sold globally and include clients such as GAP (LA), Etro (IT), White Stuff (UK), Victoria Secret (NYC) and House of Fraser (UK).

Based in Leeds, West Yorkshire, I continue to design on a freelance basis. I am a versatile designer designing for fashion and giftware markets. I believe it is important to show how I can design in a range of styles and drawing techniques, to broaden my portfolio and client's. I am keen to continue developing as a designer and If you are interested in any collaborations, freelance work or just having a general gossip! Please feel free to get in touch.
