About me

Hello and welcome to my profile!

I'm a versatile Senior Graphic Designer - who also worked as a Design Manager - with more than 30 years' experience. I've trained in a busy design agency in Germany, moved on to magazine publishing and was later employed by a professional membership body, where I helped more than 1,600 projects over the finishing line. In the same position I won the MemCom Award for Best Rebranding. From 2016 to 2023, I set up my own business and worked as a freelancer on projects for Decathlon UK, Cadbury's, the NHS, Tourettes Action and The Neurological Alliance. Currently, I'm in a senior position in a digital marketing and design agency. I have the eyes of a hawk which also makes me an excellent proof-reader. I'm an easy-going person who gets on well with other people - a joyful asset to every design team.

Here is what I do in a nutshell:

» Print design & artworking (any kind, any size)
» Corporate branding & guidelines
» Rebranding
» Catalogue & report design
» Magazine, newsletter & editorial design
» Book design & typesetting
» Illustrations & infographics
» PowerPoint presentations & Word templates
» Digital and UI design (web graphics & banners, social media post images & appearance, website comps and WordPress/Elementor development)
» Print consultation & management
» Photography & art direction
» German + English editing & proofreading
