I’ve worked with businesses of all sizes, creative studios and in-house marketing teams, and I’m especially comfortable jumping into an established brand and running with it. Give me your brand guidelines, your content and a reasonably clear idea of what you need, and I can take it from there.
I know my way around the less glamorous side of design too: production requirements, file prep, deadlines, and making sure something that looks great on screen still looks great when it actually gets produced. It’s not the exciting part, but after two decades in this business, you learn that it’s often the part that matters.
I also come from a fine-art background and have been drawing and making things for as long as I can remember. Painting, printmaking and other hands-on creative work have shaped how I approach colour, composition, typography and visual balance. I want things to look good, obviously, but they also need to communicate clearly and do the job they were designed to do.
After all these years, I’ve learned that being a good designer is only part of the equation. Being reliable, understanding what a client is actually asking for, catching the little things, and being able to just get on with it matter just as much.
Mostly, I enjoy producing good work and making the process as easy as possible. I’m comfortable taking direction, collaborating with a team, working independently, or being the person you send a slightly panicked email to because you suddenly need something by Friday. 😅
Whether you have a one-off project or need a designer you can call on a few times a month, have a look through my work. If it feels like a good fit, please get in touch.
