About me

Hello, and thanks for looking at my profile. If you're looking for your next designer, you've come to the right place!

I'm an experienced Senior Graphic Designer currently freelancing but also interested in a permanent position. I've worked in both in-house and agency roles. Since going freelance, I've worked for a wide range of clients within different sectors. This has given me the ability to adapt and to think differently for each client's individual requirements allowing me to be a more versatile creative.

I specialise in design, branding, illustration, motion graphics, and typography, striving to infuse personality and distinctiveness into every project. Branding, in particular, is my passion. I bring valuable insights into developing or refreshing visual identities, whether for established brands or new ventures. My ability to quickly immerse myself in any industry enables me to deliver fresh perspectives and innovative designs.

As a reliable freelance designer, I've supported agencies with their creative design and artwork needs, working both onsite and remotely. I also collaborate directly with businesses ranging from local start-ups to international companies managing iconic brands. Freelancing has allowed me to further develop my skills, including:

- Graphic Design
- Art Direction
- Branding
- Motion graphics
- Illustration
- Digital
- Packaging
- Project management
- Developing and interpreting a client's brief and seeing it through to completion and delivery.
- Client presentation / liaising / negotiating
- Print buying
- Partnering with/hiring/briefing third parties; Photographers, Web Developers and Copywriters.
