About me
I have 10 years experience specialising in brand design across print and digital, for clients ranging from global organisations to independent businesses. With a background working in design studios in Scotland, teamwork remains at the forefront of my creative process as a freelance designer. I work collaboratively with my clients and co-creators, from fellow designers, to copywriters, illustrators and animators, working with the best people for the job, project by project. I’m happiest solving creative problems, both large and small, if you’ve got a project you’d like to talk about, I’d love to hear about it.
Projects
  • Talkshop
    TalkshopTalkshop is a series of lightning talks that invites creative women to practice their public speaking skills, in a relaxed and informal setting. / Inspired by the workshop-style nature of the events, I designed a typographic stamp to form the basis of the identity for Talkshop. / The tagline ‘A Platform for Practice’ is reflected in the calligraphic typeface choice, as much like public speaking, it's a craft that requires dedicated practice.
  • Cancer Support Scotland, Impact Report 2019
    Cancer Support Scotland, Impact Report 2019Cancer Support Scotland offer a relaxed and friendly place where those affected by cancer can get the emotional and physical support they need. Kirsten Murray and I worked with the charity to create an uplifting Impact Report with bold infographics and personal stories to highlight their year of progress.
  • MQ: Transforming Mental Health, Tone of Voice Guidelines
    MQ: Transforming Mental Health, Tone of Voice GuidelinesMQ is the UK’s leading mental health research charity. I collaborated with designer and art director, Kirsten Murray, to create the charity's tone of voice guidelines.
