About me

I am a Senior Designer with a wide range of experience across all aspects of digital and printed design. I graduated from the school of design at Edinburgh College of Art with a BA Hons in Visual Communication in 2009. Since then I have worked in-house with marketing and IT companies, freelanced through design agencies and consulted directly with a variety of clients. This has given me a wide range of experience across each aspect of the design process, including user research; information mapping; strategy; visual research; creating concepts; communicating logic behind ideas; developing ideas methodically through design phases; presenting design philosophies to team members and clients; reworking designs to fit revised requirements; and delivering high standards of work to tight deadlines. Through previous work as a Project Manager, I have been responsible for overseeing every detail from start to finish, including product analysis; budget management; user testing; allocation of workloads; staff management and managing client relationships and expectations. I am available for freelance projects and interested in full or part time work. CV and offline portfolio available upon request.
