Hi, I'm a graphic designer specialising in visual identities and well-crafted ideas for print and digital. Everything from art direction and advertising to packaging, websites and experiential.
In 2020 I moved to London after heading up the design team at Manchester International Festival working directly with Peter Saville and North. Along with art direction and designing key pieces, I recruited and led the in-house design team of five
I have worked at design, digital, branding and advertising agencies. As an experienced freelancer I’m able to adapt quickly and work within different agency processes and creative teams. I’m confident in leading complex projects and have art directed advertising, lifestyle and product shoots in the UK and Europe.
I’m curious, passionate and thrive on delivering well-crafted solutions that deliver the best for each project. I’m super quick on a Mac and known for my meticulous attention to detail and efficiency.
Other notable projects include The Charlatans, who I have worked with for twenty years after learning to code as a teen. I continue to design their website and social media content.
I have worked with organisations such as BBC, Beats by Dre, BMG Records, The Co-operative Bank, Jameson, Manchester International Festival, Manchester Comedy Festival, Manchester United FC, Reebok, Routledge, Science and Industry Museum, UEFA and The University of Manchester amongst others.
Based in London and available for freelance projects in-house and remote.
If you’d like to work together on a project, please get in touch. For specific portfolio samples, please contact me directly.
