About me
Educated at Camberwell College of Art, I have 14 years experience in creating beautiful projects. I started out in flash animation, web and interface design working full time within agencies. Now as a freelancer I like to work in illustration, infographics, branding and art direction. I love to illustrate and digest complex information into usable visuals, and with any design concept will try and explore this option as it makes any project unique to you. I am friendly and approachable with a view to creating work that meets the brief and makes clients happy.

    Leading other designers to communicate my vision. Leading the creative direction in various projects from illustration to website design once a style had been agreed. As the key designer I was heavily involved in working closely with the Creative Director and making the designs beautiful. Heavy involvement in the pitch process from initial designs through to the presentation. I am a good public speaker and can explain the thinking behind my work with clarity.
