About me

Hello!
A committed, creative problem solver with over a decade's experience as a lead creative in the charity sector. I have a hunger to change things for the better through meaningful communications, working with purpose-led brands.
I build high performing creative teams, empowering them and those they work with to harness design thinking together.

My experience is in graphic design and brand development, spanning a wide range of small and large scale brand development activities, communication projects and marketing campaigns - across fundraising, healthcare engagement, brand awareness and research comms. My passion is conceptual thinking and creating content that captures hearts and minds.
With a first-class degree in Graphic Communication and an innate desire to make the world a better place, I'm reliable, trustworthy and always wanting to do the best I can. Not just that, I've worked on projects that have won awards for thinking differently - so you know that I'll do what it takes to make something stand out.
With a unique mix of an analytical mind and creative outlook, as well as broad hands-on experience, I can take full ownership of projects from start to finish so you don't have to worry.

My skills and experience include:
- Creative concept development
- Brand development and rollout
- Graphic design (posters/flyers/postcards, annual reports, editorial design, social media assets, email assets, infographics, corporate stationery etc)
- Accessible design
- Project management
- Art direction
- Creative direction
- Proofreading (with a good eye for copy)
