I’m a Creative Designer and Brand & Digital specialist with 18+ years’ experience creating engaging visual content, campaigns and digital experiences for organisations and brands including The Guardian, Nike, Berghaus, City AM and the NHS. I combine strong creative thinking with hands-on design skills across branding, social media, motion graphics, presentations, digital design and UX. I’m comfortable taking a project from an initial idea through to polished final delivery, whether that’s working independently or as part of a wider creative team. I’m particularly good at working to tight deadlines, understanding a brief quickly and finding creative solutions that deliver against the bigger business goal — not just making something look good. Outside of design, I’m a massive fan of Britpop, Northern Soul and anything with a bit of history behind it. I collect vintage records, retro toys, comics and magazines, so I’m probably happiest when I’m surrounded by something creative, nostalgic or slightly nerdy! Always open to interesting freelance projects, creative collaborations and opportunities to make great work.
