About me

Senior presentation designer. The person in the room that builds the gallery and the frames, to hang your strat-heavy content alongside your creative for the pitch.

QuestionsProjectsExperienceTeam

• I'm looking for art portfolio inspiration. (Separate from my design portfolio.) What are your favourites?
• I'm building a perceptual map of a company's operating territories (across the Americas, Europe, but not yet in Asia, etc). Any tips?
• CV rebuild: Where would you put logos of brands / organisations / agencies you've worked with? How would you want to see these? Thank you!

  PowerPoint | Pitch deck | DesignMore than your average PowerPoint/Keynote designer. imby approached me to design and build its pitch deck for its second round of seed funding. I provided strategic oversight on the content, custom artwork, tech mock-ups, built the deck with flawless transitions & animations.
• Workshop materials | Print, branded collateralThe brief was to create a series of immersive materials for a sustainability workshop, which were subtly branded. Their purpose was to aid delegates to immerse themselves fifty years into our future, thinking on a macro scale. The collateral here is part of a full suite of branded workshop materials.
• Tea & Pronouns | Mobile app design | Components suiteAsking people's pronouns can be a delicate matter, and so I've devised a highly British approach: ask them how they like their tea. Simple, effective, and a clean design.

With the welcome arrival of a Comms Director, came a mandate to rocket-power our visual identity -- from social assets, digital and print publications, and events. If it was public-facing, I was responsible for it. I rolled out a brand refresh across the sustainable development non-profit's growing international offices -- from event and workshop materials, localise digital and social artwork, to stationary (hey, it's needed) and publications. Somewhere along the way, Sally Uren, CEO handed me her Franken-deck for a global summit, and implored me to fix it. That conversation changed everything. After that, I created her decks for all her speaking engagements and partner meetings. It was wicked, I loved it. So much, I turned freelance, so I could do it more.

I can't believe I get to go to school and make a racket. I double dare you all to go back and do the thing you couldn't do the first time around.

Yeah man, I know. Ancient History? For a designer? But it makes sense, if you squint and factor in a life-altering surgery halfway through my undergrad. My bachelor's thesis, "How to look good, Ancient" was awarded 82%, and my final year average was 76%. I spent my final two years fascinated by the active sartorial language of the Romans and Britons, and that carried me neatly into formalising my previously-capped passion for good, story-telling design. Told you, you just had to squint. BA (Hons) Ancient History 2:1
