About me

I’m an ambitious hard working designer and illustrator looking to broaden my experience and knowledge within the design industry. I am a confident adaptable designer with good communication and social skills. I’m a proactive person and stay very calm in stressful situations and work well under pressure to meet tight deadlines. I love to live creatively, experience new things and be open to new ways of thinking. I have a keen interest in design, illustration, photography, typography, music and fashion. I enjoy visiting exhibitions, painting, modifying or creating clothing and bags and I always have a camera to hand. Other interests include travel, cooking and experiencing new flavours, mountain sports and enjoying all these things with friends and family.

Projects

• George Eliot BooksA new set of illustrations were required to freshen up this set of books published by Wordsworth Editions. I found a symbolic shape for each book and created an illustration using items relevant to the story. The colour pallet is fresh and modern but also retains a natural feel.
• The Heart Summer Campaign 2021The Heart Shopping Centre wanted a Summer campaign aimed at getting shoppers back after lockdown to shop for their summer holidays, whether it be a holiday abroad or in the UK. They wanted something bright and eye catching to entice customers back to their stores.
• Promotional Video for Why MediaWhy Media wanted a video to promote their services. I created a fast paced, upbeat video with animation to achieve this.
• Easym Character CreationAimed at a younger market, the key message for this brand was Mortgages. Simple. These characters were introduced as the brand ambassadors to remove the layers of formality you’d usually expect from a mortgage company and making the process exciting rather than scary. I was hired to create a set of illustrations based on a 1930s style. The friendly house is the main member, but supported by other moving home items such as boxes and ladders, but also the friendly mortgage wizard and villainous
• Anthony Martin Moments MagazineAnthony Martin Estate Agents are based in Kent and have just had their 10 year anniversary. They are an honest down to earth agency and wanted a community based magazine that would help promote the business during lock-down.
• Monsanto Seminis Innovation DayEvery year Monsanto holds an event to showcase their portfolio of broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage varieties. The strapline for this event was 'Let our innovations do the hard work'. I created a summer logo for this as well as placing vegetables into holiday scenes for a fun light hearted campaign.
