I am a highly competent designer and artworker with over 15 years experience in both freelance and agency settings. I have tackled the full spectrum of design work—from direct mail campaigns to online event branding—and I’m comfortable taking on whatever you throw at me. I pride myself on strong technical know-how, both in artwork creation and in navigating various printing processes. I also work digitally, delivering web banners, social media animations and a suite of motion graphics for virtual events. I’ve designed for diverse sectors and audiences including health, charities, B2B, travel & hospitality, food & drink, politics, education and publishing. As a freelance illustrator with clients such as Virgin Atlantic, Plan International and Vodafone, my illustration skills complement my design work, guiding the overall process. Whether it’s creating a public information poster hierarchy, an animated Instagram post or an application form, my understanding of sequential design underpins a strong user experience. I fit well into studio teams—calm under pressure, I manage multiple jobs and priorities to meet deadlines.
