About me
Growing up in the UK and then moving to the United States, where I spent five formative years before returning to England has proved to be an enriching cross-cultural experience which has not only developed my own person, but has profoundly influenced my graphic design work. I’ve had exposure to alternative ways of thinking and creating which means that my work is influenced by diverse traditions, and continues to evolve as I harness new experiences.
Good design exercises powerful influence over people and their choices, and is a vital commercial tool. Great design lifts us out of the mundane and the ordinary, and represents our continual progress.
I love what I do, and being truly passionate about design means that I take great pride in my work.
Projects
- Tastebuds MagazineWhilst I was part of the Widgets & Stone team we were asked to design Chattanooga’s local food guide — a publication highlighting the region’s best farmers, restaurants, artisans and suppliers. Working with the fantastic team of content creators from Crabtree Farms, we produced another practical food guide which has brought benefit to the food scene around Chattanooga and beyond. I was involved in the organisation and layout of the directory pages, layout of articles and creation of several ads.
- Bright SparkBridge Innovate is a global team of executive and business management consultants who help leaders produce change and innovation from within their organisations. As project manager with Bridge Innovate I managed the startup, design and development of Bright Spark which was launched in June 2013 with a kick off workshop. The program seeks to empower students and teachers through Design Thinking and provides tools to equip people to lead their own workshops. Bright Spark continues to grow with programs being held in schools across Chattanooga and my involvement with them, as a freelance graphic designer, also continues.
- Revel Pastry CompanyCharity Everett, the founder of Revel Pastry Company, approached me earlier this year in her search for an identity for her new business. Charity’s company creates sweet and savoury pastries, inspired by the best local, and seasonal, produce available to them. I, therefore, sought to reflect both the intricacy of pastry making, and the simplicity of ingredients in an elegant and versatile design.
