I’m a multidisciplinary designer with a strong background in both print and digital, currently working as the sole designer for a busy, fast-paced business. I’m used to juggling multiple projects, delivering high-quality creative under pressure, and bringing ideas to life from concept through to final execution. Alongside my core design work, I have a growing passion for illustration and visual storytelling. I’m particularly interested in opportunities that allow me to expand this side of my practice—whether that’s creating bespoke graphics, developing brand visuals, or adding a more illustrative, character-led approach to design. As a mum of four, I’ve developed exceptional organisation, resilience, and the ability to stay calm and focused in demanding situations—skills that naturally feed into my creative work and professional mindset. I’m now looking to collaborate on projects where I can bring a mix of strong design foundations and expressive, engaging illustration.
