I am a creative designer blending a BA degree in product design with extensive work experience, who possesses many transferable skills and can seamlessly adapt my style to any business or situation. Skilled across a broad spectrum of design areas, including product, retail, automotive, fashion, digital, learning and graphic design, I have led creative projects for brands like Jaguar Land Rover, Sainsbury’s, and Asics, and most recently drove a full brand refresh and digital marketing campaigns for Wolsey Hall Oxford. What sets me apart is the mix of creativity and problem-solving I bring to design. I focus not just on aesthetics but on how designs work and connect with people. At Sainsbury’s, I designed and improved training processes to be more intuitive for thousands of colleagues, and at Wolsey Hall I developed engaging digital assets and campaigns that strengthened their brand presence across web, email, and social platforms. I am proficient in a wide range of software and passionate about accessibility, improving lives through design, and spotting opportunities for improvement. I am an adept individual contributor and a collaborative team player, recognized for creativity, technical expertise, adaptability, and a hands-on approach.
