About me

I'm a freelance graphic designer bursting with ideas and creativity who loves to get my teeth into a new project, immediately available to start on new projects.

My passion comes from having successful redesigns, and getting to use my creativity at times (I have other skills such as printmaking, illustration and photography). Plus the drive to always be eager to learn more, and to see beautiful and ambitious designs come to fruition, across the required platforms.

My experience in more detail comes in the form of consumer editorial print design, expanding across high end retail title Canary Wharf to women's fashion & specialist titles (Glamour, Reveal, Best, Real People, Blanche Magazine [French Fashion, art and culture magazine], Wedding and Wedding Flowers & Accessories magazines) and London Borough titles ( K&C, NHHP & Belgravia Resident's Journal).

Over the last 6 months I have been focusing on doing freelance work, for myself, covering business branding and identities; with my most recent client being a huge supermarket chain, producing their Christmas communications, including booklets and pos marketing materials, on behalf of a communications company. (The projects aren't finished yet, so I cannot say too much).

In January 2017 I completed a contract at RWMG, as senior designer with sole responsibility for editorial design across Canary Wharf Magazine, Kensington & Chelsea (K&C), Notting Hill & Holland Park (NHHP), and Belgravia Residents Journal. I took their biggest contract - Canary Wharf Magazine and redesigned the title to something completely new, where I created the new identity and updated the editorial pages to give it a more retail look and feel. This was successful, with only one round of client approval, and was published in January 2017. Across the other publications I designed all editorial and had the responsibility of the covers and sending to print on time. I handled three print schedules to flow effectively throughout the monthly calendar, whilst juggling the full team holiday schedules to fit around these deadlines. [More experience included on my website about page!]

I like to prove my abilities which I will always want to build on throughout my career; because I love to create work which is successful for the company I work for, the client and myself, keeping the designs up-to date with what the consumer wants to see. Additional skills include some wordpress, flash and dreamweaver. Small use and knowledge of HTML & CSS. I've also got a new diploma in Social Media Marketing, award distinction.
