I'm Rhona, a freelance Graphic Designer and part-time Lecturer in Graphic Design at the University of Lincoln with a passion for using my creativity for good. Prior to founding Breezign in 2017, I worked as a designer in agencies, the last 8 in a DesignWeek Top 100 agency. I have 15 years experience as a designer across a wide variety of sectors, producing work for B2B and B2C clients at local, national and international level. I believe in developing strong working relationships with all of my clients, in order to understand their business, audience and help them achieve their goals. I also have been employed as a consultant on studio practices, and can offer copywriting and illustration services alongside graphic design. I am proud to be a trustee for The Cameron Day Charitable Trust, rewarding a passion for design, engagement and a Cam-do attitude and celebrating creative excellence of Graphic Design students. Please take a look at my website and contact me if you would like to work with me in the future.
