About me
I am a confident and versatile creative professional with over 15 years of experience, including two years as Lead Graphic Designer at Archant Media (now Newsquest Media), one of the UK's leading local news and media organisations. Throughout my career, I have refined my expertise in commercial design, editorial layout, brand development, and campaign execution. My background also includes leadership, project management, and mentoring — core strengths I continue to draw upon in dynamic creative environments.
I currently work as a freelance designer, partnering with clients across diverse sectors including medical literature, local government, and international corporations. My work spans print and digital media, combining creative vision with precision to deliver high-impact results tailored to global audiences.
In an industry that's constantly evolving, I am committed to ongoing development and staying ahead of emerging trends, tools, and best practices.
Beyond my professional life, I'm passionate about spending time with family and friends. Rugby plays a big role in my routine, alongside fitness activities such as local boot camps and touch rugby. Most recently, I've embraced the rewarding craft of sourdough bread baking — my starter is now entering its third year and continues to rise to the occasion.
