Hi! I'm Pip. I’m a friendly and enthusiastic Senior Creative Designer with over 20 years of experience working in the graphic design industry across both Australia and the UK. ​​When I'm not designing you'll often find me planning my next holiday and spending time with my family! ​I’ve spent most of my career on the client side, where I’ve had the chance to lead design teams, manage end-to-end print projects, and work closely with a wide range of people, both internally and externally, to bring creative ideas to life. ​I absolutely love the design process and have a real passion for getting things just right - from the first brief all the way through to final delivery. With a strong background in print and press production, I’m known for meeting deadlines without compromising on quality. I’ve also managed design workflows for global brands across print, digital, and other offline channels, keeping everything running smoothly and efficiently. ​I’m confident using the Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator), and I also enjoy working with web platforms like Shopify , Wix and WordPress. I’m also very comfortable with tools like Canva and Omnisend, and I’m always keen to pick up new skills (I’m a fast learner!). People often describe me as approachable, adaptable, and down-to-earth. I’m always up for learning something new, whether it’s through training, courses, or just diving into a new project. I bring positivity, energy, and a genuine love for design to everything I do.
