I'm a creative designer with a strong focus on marketing, brand strategy, and concept development. I enjoy crafting logos, brand identities, and campaigns, and I create content for email, social, websites, packaging, and print across a range of clients from schools to charities and B2B companies. I thrive under tight deadlines and love collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to turn ambitious ideas into standout visuals. Growing up with drawing, photography, and digital art has shaped my hands-on approach to design. I also do freelance album and vinyl art for a music recording company, and I constantly leverage data and research to inform creative solutions. I’m motivated by turning complex briefs into simple, memorable brands that resonate with audiences.

    Country Range monthly promo leaflet

    This project involved creating a series of promotional leaflets for Country Range, distributed monthly to their
    18 members and their client base as part of their monthly magazine. Each member has their own product
    promotions and price points, and I have to communicate with each member personally for all product changes and feedback, as well as Country Range itself, to deliver all 18 versions simultaneously within a tight three-week deadline. The key to this project is ensuring consistency and quality across all materials.
    Successfully delivering this project demonstrated my ability to manage complex, high-volume design work under pressure while maintaining attention to detail.
