I am a freelance Graphic Designer and Illustrator with over 24 years of industry experience, delivering bespoke design and illustration solutions from concept to print while collaborating closely with clients worldwide. I specialise in branding, corporate identity, packaging, promotional materials, pop-up displays, vehicle graphics, and exhibition visuals, and I create branded PowerPoint presentations that are polished, on-brand, and visually engaging with infographics and professional layouts. In addition to client work, I teach Graphic Design as a Teaching Assistant during my studies and undertake personal projects including bespoke book cover design and a range of art commissions. Art is my language and lifelong passion; I’m inspired by people, places, exhibitions, and travel, which fuels my imagination as I explore new mediums and life drawing to keep my creativity alive and evolving. I’m also an accomplished Children’s Book Illustrator, providing full creative support from storyboarding to final print-ready artwork.
