About me

A I am a very well-rounded graphic design professional with 12 years experience in print from concept to completion as well as in digital and mobile design. I specialise in the areas of promotional design, brand identity and publishing, but throughout my career I have also been involved in other areas of design, such as product and exhibition design, in the private and public sectors, as well as charities.

I love everything graphic, including teaching and writing, and I let my work be influenced by my life experience as well as my wanderings amongst other visual disciplines.
