I'm a multidisciplinary creative with over 25 years' experience in graphic and digital design, working across London, Cape Town, and the US. I've led creative output for global brands including Mondelēz International, GSK, Unilever, and BT Group, alongside direct clients across FMCG, pharma, telecoms, and media – working hands-on across brand campaigns, presentation design, digital and editorial work, and brand identity, always with a strong focus on storytelling and visual impact. I thrive under pressure and love solving creative problems with smart, strategic design – whether it's a quick-turn deck or a full brand refresh. I work on a freelance basis, available remotely from Cape Town for clients in the UK, Europe, the US, and beyond, with no onboarding curve required.
