About me

From I worked with Howard Wakefield at Studio Parris Wakefield (formerly Saville Associates with Peter Saville).

For the majority of this time the main client I worked with was Kvadrat, where I was responsible for creating communication materials for many of their new collections, as well as delivery of press advertising. Liaising with a variety of leading design publications; creating artwork, organising proofs and ensuring deadlines were met. Communications include invites, brochures, promotional posters, in-store packaging and advertising.

The last client at the studio I worked with, was the Danish political party Radikale Venstre, I was involved in all design stages of branding. The campaign got an overall 67% approval rating from the voters - which made it the best campaign.

I left the studio to re-locate back to London and have been working as a freelance designer since.

Personal statement

I understand that being part of a team means more than just designing, it's about contributing ideas and showing initiative.

I can design for both print and screen (although I wouldn't say i'm a programmer) and I regard myself as an organised person with an eye for detail, who can liaise with clients and production companies directly.

I regularly visit galleries and exhibitions and love film and music. I have special interests in photography and cooking too.
