About me

I have a wealth of experience in many industry disciplines, having worked in the greetings and product design industry for over 25 years. I have taken active roles in both small and large teams at many levels for a number of different organisations; starting as a designer at a graduate level, to establishing myself as a successful art director at a major publishing company.

My recent work has involved helping companies to understand and translate business objectives into realistic, exciting creative directions and deliverables.

I love trend watching, industry and market insight and staying ahead of current styles and trends. I am full of creative inspiration and enjoy generating and developing innovative ideas, of which I have experience across a wide range of industries; these include publication, promotion and media, greetings cards, jewellery, gift products, fashion and textiles.

As well as running a small on line Boutique as a hobby, My full time job is Designing : Greetings card design, graphic design, illustration, and am constantly on the look out for freelance work or a full time position within a company. Please feel free to contact me with any work requirements.
