About me

I am hoping that you are looking for a hardworking, dynamic and experienced graphic designer/illustrator and fast art-worker, for freelance work at a competitive price.

All aspects of brand design/development and graphic/print design production, from large scale rollouts to small print runs are covered.

You will find in my CV, that I have worked with companies such as Coca-Cola, and Sainsbury's but also small client work is covered with equal enthusiasm

and creativity.

Whether you have a full time opportunity or occasional freelance work I would love to hear from you.
