About me
Graphic designer, illustrator, and visual communicator.
Currently working within professional haircare, skincare, and wellbeing brands. Design and concept for packaging, branding, and marketing materials.
Expertise in Adobe Creative Cloud such as Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, and After Effects with a working knowledge of Microsoft Office. Operating across digital and print platforms, I have skills in animation, project management, teamwork, and meeting tight deadlines.
An avid creative, I spend my free time using traditional and experimental creative methods, designing prints and stationery that I sell online. I practice modern calligraphy, watercolour illustration and oil painting, taking influences from culture, escapism and naive art movements.
