About me

Being a graphic designer is what I know and love. Currently I work from my studio in Brighton, working directly with clients and with marketing and public relations companies to generate engaging and effective communications. In the past I have worked within design studios, advertising agencies, public relations companies and in-house studios. Some of the companies I have worked with include Miss Selfridge, Dorothy Perkins, The Body Shop, Walker Books, Sainsbury’s, Deutsche Bank, Lehman Brothers, 90ten Healthcare Communications, Pegasus Healthcare Communications and Reynolds MacKenzie Public Relations. My areas of expertise include: identity & branding, infographics, conference and events collateral, packaging and point of sale. I have extensive experience in retail and corporate literature such as brochures, leaflets and reports. In all disciplines of print design I work from concept through to press ready artwork.
