About me
Creative. American, Aquarian, 30-years- old, married to a Brit. Fast-paced, London-based future-chaser. I am a highly creative and dedicated graphic and web designer, with a passion for finding fresh and original solutions for over ten years. Combined with my level-headed and rational approach to clients’ needs has led to an expansive body of work with outputs for clients ranging from adidas, Chanel, Facebook, Pernod-Ricard, Plenaire, Public Health England, Reuters and Swarovski.
Projects
  • Digital School of the Future
    Digital School of the FutureAn initial concept for a landing page and guide for Commercial to launch the digital school of the future. A single-scroll landing page and digital handbook. Considerations were future-facing applications, a strong drive to download the guide across the page, and a way to build credibility with prestigious schools while remaining accessible and tech-centric.
  • Flamingo x Reuters: How Young People Consume News
    Flamingo x Reuters: How Young People Consume NewsThis was a project commissioned by Reuters to see what’s changing in how young people access news, and how news media might have to change approach to continue to draw in readers. After the report was completed, we developed the findings into a comprehensive report and digital presentation (see the Instagram story here: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/17851609930573007/?hl=en).
  • Always Fresh Branding System
    Always Fresh Branding SystemAlways Fresh is an organic farm which grows all its own produce and delivers to individuals and restaurants, as well as selling at farmers’ markets. This job came in as a simple business card update, the client providing a new image for the back of her old cards. As we began discussing the update, I convinced her to allow me to provide a sample of my own work for the back that I felt was more professional and attractive. I created a series of watercolour sketches of the vegetables she grows to act as graphic elements for the brand, then moved on to develop a fresh and friendly logotype. In everything I aimed for a sustainable look that would support her in her sales to both new and old customers in far-ranging demographics.
