Freelance Graphic Designer at Type Doll
September 1, 2019 - PresentAs a freelance designer and lettering artist, I create bespoke visual identities, typographic artwork, and digital products under my personal brand, Type Doll. My work blends modern femininity with vintage-inspired aesthetics, drawing influence from Art Nouveau, decorative typography, and whimsical design styles.
I specialise in branding, packaging design, hand lettering, and digital illustration, crafting cohesive visual stories for clients and creative audiences. My freelance work includes designing custom Procreate brush kits, Canva templates, and brand assets, as well as developing detailed packaging and print layouts that balance artistry with function.
With over six years of freelance experience, I’ve honed strong skills in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and InDesign, and have expanded my toolkit to include Procreate, Canva, VivaVideo, and various digital marketing platforms. I also manage my own website, online store, and creative community presence—developing digital products for platforms like Creative Market and Flodesk while consistently meeting tight deadlines and maintaining a refined design standard.
My recent projects, such as “Etchings & Ephemera” (a vintage-inspired Procreate brush kit) and “Moonlark Gin” (a conceptual packaging design), showcase my ability to merge illustration, typography, and brand storytelling into unique, market-ready visuals.
