I'm Grace O'Leary, a graphic and digital designer with over 15 years' experience in the fashion retail industry. I've freelanced for more than a decade and worked in-house for a variety of companies. I’ve always loved fashion, style, and colour, and enjoy bringing these elements into my design work. I’m increasingly drawn to typography and how it can be adapted to suit each project. I design and build websites using WordPress and Elementor, and I create marketing materials, social media content, paid ads, animated content, and print design. I also run my own printing press for high-end stationery, and I paint in my spare time — recently having my first exhibition.
