About me

I have several years of art direction and design experience both full-time and freelance, mainly for magazines, but I also design brochures, reports, adverts, gifs, advertorials, books, packaging, logos and various marketing materials for both print and online. I enjoy typography, and using it creatively to convey the brand and clearly engage with the user. I've art directed countless shoots, covering food, drinks, watches & jewellery, people, interiors and fashion, involving the coordination and briefing of teams of people, and the sourcing of props. I have strong commissioning skills in both illustration and photography, ensuring the right imagery is created and that it fulfils the brief. I can create graphic images and infographics. I'm comfortable with the whole process of layout, checking proofs and PDFs, finalising pages for repro, and liaising with printers. I can creatively produce designs from scratch, or to an existing brief or style under direction, and am happy working in client's offices, as part of a team, or from my home using Adobe Creative Suite.
