I'm an experienced Graphic Designer with a history of successfully taking projects from their initial stages all the way through to completion and print.
Born and raised in London, I was home educated during my early years and this gave me the opportunity to earn my education much faster than my peers. I sat my first GCSE at age 10 and graduated from university at age 19.
In my spare time, I enjoy 3D printing, designing typographic/illustrative posters and being outdoors. I try to go camping when I can and love the Welsh and Dorset countryside. Earlier this year I built my own 3D printer and have been developing my 3D modelling skills since. Prior to that, I used to spend my spare time screen printing my own illustrations and experimenting with new inks and paper stocks.
I have an extensive background in branding & promotional design and work well under strict deadline. I utilise good interpersonal skills as well as an extremely high level of technical ability. I’ve worked on brand identity & collateral, promotional material, typography, packaging, display advertising and web design.
My previous role involved the design and development of all print and digital material surrounding an e-commerce website. I designed and maintained the website, performed ongoing SEO, managed the company's social presence, took product photos, analysed user data and ran targeted online campaigns.
Whilst working freelance some of my larger projects were designing websites and branding start-ups but you could say my bread and butter revolved heavily around print materials like posters, leaflets and business cards. I've had the pleasure of working with a number of groups in different fields which has given me a good insight into both corporate and cottage industry and led me to develop a very high level of proficiency in the Adobe Creative Suite.
Work history
Freelance Graphic Designer
London, United KingdomFreelance
I work on a wide range of projects for individuals, charities and businesses. Delivering meaningful and effective solutions on tight turnarounds.
Working freelance my day to day heavily revolves around print with the majority of my commissions to do with designing leaflets, brochures and product labels for small businesses. During a project, it's not unusual to be asked to refresh an older design or repurpose an existing design for use in another format. As such I am confident in my ability to deliver high-quality solutions and I am well versed in preparing and proofing documents for print.
I'm often commissioned to design for both print and web and I am genuinely really passionate about both. My first client website I built back in 2010 hit 60,000 views in its first month and my last brief was to redesign a website for a small charity. A big part of my previous role in e-commerce was tailoring web pages and designing content to increase engagement and conversion rates. I understand how to use analytics data from social and search to apply positive changes to the content's format and I have experience in improving both web conversions and capturing lost baskets.
