I’m May, a freelance creative designer with 12 years of experience shaping brand identities, websites, and print materials from concept through delivery. I enjoy creating cohesive, on-brand content across channels—whether that’s supporting UK-wide campaigns, developing a full brand identity, or designing promotional materials for launches and events. I’ve led end-to-end design work including ideation, brand identity development, and rollout across digital, print, and installations. From working within small marketing teams to collaborating on large, globally-referenced projects and investment-ready brand presentations, I bring strong creative direction, visualisation, typography and layout skills, plus a practical approach to project management, timekeeping, and problem-solving.
