About

I’m a designer based in Buckinghamshire/London with over four years of industry experience and seven years of freelancing. I specialise in presentation design, editorial, and visual identity, with experience across both in-house and agency roles. Most recently, I worked as a midweight creative at SixteenByNine, focusing on pitch decks, brand presentations, and motion content, delivering clear, visually consistent decks for global brands such as Glenfiddich, Bowmore (in collaboration with Aston Martin), and LVMH. This involved translating ideas into concise, visually consistent decks across static and motion formats.

In addition to client work, I run ThatCoolGrid, a social media and branding consultancy where I lead on strategy, content, and design for a range of clients, including Motcomb Street and brands such as Petrus, Realisation Par, New & Lingwood, and Neill Strain, as well as cafés, pubs, and wellness studios across the Cotswolds. I also run Occulartem, a platform for illustration and typography-based prints, which I use to develop my visual style outside of client work. My work is generally clean, minimal, and detail-focused, with an emphasis on clear communication.
