About me

Senior creative, helping companies to look, feel and sound right through branding and design. Working with business owners, creative agencies and global brands alike to develop campaigns, identities and designs that are underpinned by strategic thinking. With over a decade of industry experience, I am well-versed in the world of freelancing - and the need to balance autonomy, collaboration, adaptability and consistency in a delicate dance to deliver a project. Moulding ideas from initial concepts through to execution across print and digital is a natural part of my design process, paying close attention to the full customer journey.

This was an important consideration when coming up with the concept, to ensure that the identity was fit for purpose.
