About

I’m a senior freelance creative and brand designer, originally building brands from scratch and shaping visual identities that feel exciting, clear, and distinctive. From early concepts and brand decks through to polished production, I focus on design that not only looks great, but also moves projects forward with confidence—across print, digital, and social.

I’ve worked in fast-paced, high-expectation environments with teams and big clients, and I enjoy leading creative direction while coordinating with others to get everything to a strong finish. When I’m not designing, I’m inspired by film and the narratives within it, and I also spend my spare time trying to write fantasy novels with my family in Stony Stratford.

The brief was to create a engaging cyber security brand campaign. My response was a conceptual story of illustrated characters with a theme of scale. The client loved this concept, and it's expanded ever since.
