About

I am a qualified and experienced graphic designer with 10+ years of experience specialising in design for print and web. I love turning client ideas into eye-catching branding, packaging, and marketing materials using a mix of hand-drawn visuals, photography, and the Adobe Creative Suite.

My approach is collaborative and flexible, whether I’m working remotely or on location. I’ve built a small home studio and enjoy bringing projects from concept through to print-ready files, from logo updates to product labels and promotional posters.
