I am a detail-orientated Creative Designer with both in-house & agency side experience that thrives in structured, collaborative environments. Having worked within various creative arenas in Cape Town (South Africa) for 10 years, I returned to the UK in 2014 seeking new beginnings and design opportunities. This has led me to working with several healthcare / babycare companies within the fields of packaging, production artwork and digital asset generation. I am a keen problem solver that maintains grace under pressure. After several years of working in-house, I find myself missing the agency life and dynamic and therefore seek more contract-based design opportunities. Clients/Brands: GSK, Nuby UK/Dr Talbots, Clicks (SA equivalent of Boots), Thomson Reuters, Men’s Health Magazine, Poundland, Middlesbrough FC, Arabella Sheraton Grand Hotel, Smirnoff, Shell, Train Magazine, L’Oreal & Tommy Hilfiger.…I am a detail-orientated Creative Designer with both in-house & agency side experience that thrives in structured, collaborative environments.
