About me

I'm Sammy, a Graphic Designer and Illustrator, based in the North East. I specialise in brand and logo design, illustration, hand lettering and design for print.

By weaving traditional graphic design and beautiful hand drawn illustration seamlessly together, you have everything in one place to bring your project to life. The service I provide is completely bespoke to your requirements, and no ask is too big or too small. Whether it's a marketing brochure, a business card, a whole rebrand (or brand a review) you need, I can help. I love finding out the small details and nuances of your business to bring that DNA through into your design and project.

Working with clients small and large, I have over 10 years experience since graduating from De Montfort University. My role as a Senior Graphic Designer within the Planning and Architecture industry for 8 years, meant I worked with clients such as Taylor Wimpey, Kier Construction, Reading Football Club and The National Trust, but I've also worked with small start ups and new businesses to build their brand.

I now proudly work as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator. I work from my home studio in the North East, and also run an online shop, Pumpkins and Pinecones, where I sell an eclectic collection of prints, homeware goods and gifts, and sometimes participate in a local makers market or two.
In my spare time you'll find me hunting for local and far fetched vintage treasures, painting traditional hand painted and gilded letters, learning a new craft, or spending time with me beloved cat, Mitzi.

I'm currently available for independent freelance opportunities, collaborations and commissions.
