From developing dynamic (and award-winning!) brands for global sports bodies to setting engaging publications for conservation charities – I have over 12 years’ experience crafting design solutions that make a difference.
I collaborate with individuals, start-ups, businesses, and organisations to identify, create, and deliver meaningful solutions that add long-term value to your brand and help achieve your organisations objectives.
After achieving first-class honours in Visual Communication at BCU back in 2008, my profession began developing a brand and websites for a specialist tour operator. 12 years’ later I have built a versatile skillset with several branding agencies and delivered meaningful projects for clients across many sectors, from local charities to global governing bodies. I have developed a proven approach to solving communication challenges - creating, developing or evolving brands, bringing projects to life across print, digital and physical environments.
I believe in data and objectives, not conjecture and outputs. Your communication challenges can also reveal the solutions if you look hard enough and analyse the bigger picture. Great work comes from forming solid objectives as a basis from which to measure ideas against and implementing a proposition that creates the positive change you need.

- Severn Trent: Discovering wonderful waterside days out from one of the UK’s biggest water utility providersSevern Trent is responsible for lakes and reservoirs across the Midlands and Wales from the Upper Derwent Valley reservoir, home to the Dambusters, to the incredibly beautiful Lake Vyrnwy. These sites are the only customer-facing shop window for this FTSE 100 company, yet they remained massively under-used in terms of a brand experience. As part of our ongoing relationship with Severn Trent supporting them on major campaigns and communications, we were briefed to create a visitor centre brand c

CABE’s ambitious leadership team recognised the need for change and saw brand as the catalyst required for reinvention to both improve releva

- Motorsport UK: A new name and identity to mark the start of a new journeyFollowing years of declining membership Motorsport UK, formerly the Motor Sports Association (MSA), were looking to transition from a traditional and governance-led association to a modern, membership-focused champion for the sport. Together, we put members back at the heart of Motorsport UK through a bold strategic positioning and dynamic brand identity. Insight Although motorsport in the UK is a success story, grass-roots members who contest the bulk of the sport often feel overshadowed by a
- A clarion call to Londoners to play their part to save the worldWe are living through a climate emergency, and only a dramatic shift in behaviours will keep global heating to below the point of no return. The London Waste and Recycling Board (LWARB) have developed programmes to accelerate London’s transition to a low carbon circular economy, but they needed a powerful new name, identity and message to cut through to London’s businesses and boroughs and citizens and inspire them to act. Insight Our research showed that a massive step-change is needed to gal
- Commonwealth Sport: Transforming an international federation into a global, dynamic, sports movementLast year we identified that a reinvigoration of our brand was necessary to ensure it aligned with our ambitious new strategic direction for the Games, our programmes and the wider Commonwealth Sport Movement. As such we approached the brand agency RBL, after their successful delivery of the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games brand, to help us transform the Federation into a global, dynamic, sports movement.
