About me
With 16 years of experience as a designer and art director, I’m highly experienced in the creative, fashion, and retail industries. Alongside freelance I was a part-time senior lecturer for eight years, shaping the next generation of designers. My journey through multidisciplinary studios has resulted in a portfolio that I might describe as random, but reflective of my creative versatility and adaptability.

    Senior Graphic DesignerFreelance
    Lincoln, United KingdomFreelance
    In both studio environments and as a freelancer, I have championed design with a purpose, recognising the pivotal role of strategy in achieving impactful outcomes. Collaborating in small teams as a senior designer, art director and creative lead, I’ve navigated projects from concept to delivery, building a strong understanding of client needs and project dynamics. My journey through multidisciplinary studios has resulted in a portfolio that I might describe as random, but it is reflective of my versatility and adaptability.
