About me

I am a highly creative designer looking for my next challenge. I have a solid graphic design career behind me, having worked for companies such BBC Worldwide and Disney. I have created winning designs for brands such as Mickey & Minnie, Monster Inc, Top Gear, Toy Story, Good Food, Doctor Who, Sherlock and Cbeebies. I specialise in designing product, packaging and POS for major high street retailers like The Disney Store, Amazon, HMV, Tesco, ASDA, Sainsbury’s & W H Smith. Looking out for new trends and inspiration is second nature. I am condifident in taking projects from concept though to production. I excel at developing highly commercial product and packaging solutions. I love to learn, recently completing a course in Typography at St Martins and a screen printing course at Print club London. I am a versatile designer with heaps of ideas, knowledge, passion and skill to bring to my next role. I thrive in a fast paced trend lead environment working both independently and as part of an innovative and dynamic team.
