About me

I’m a Senior Graphic Designer with 16 years’ experience in print and digital media, starting on national consumer magazines now specialise in presentations and marketing materials. I’ve worked at some big media companies including Bauer Media, News UK and ITV Commercial. On the side I started working with a friend’s company, designing marketing assets for beauty brands such as Eylure, Facegym and Caudalie, which expanded my skills from print to digital. My recent experience has cemented my love of creating engaging and simple presentations. I love using my creative skills on visual communications and bringing ideas to life, focusing on function as well as aesthetics.
