Having worked in both agency and as a freelance graphic designer, delivering design for brands including Deloitte, British Fashion Council, The Christie and Chinese Centre for Contemporary Art, I decided to leave agency life to work directly with businesses and freelancers. I love to create branding with a personality and I want to help you tell your story through an engaging and thoughtful visual story. Your website is the first thing prospective clients will see. I can help you to create an intuitive and user friendly website that showcases your business or portfolio.

    uniE621 Children’s Books North Agency
    Children’s Books North Agency is a Manchester based agency representing Northern and Scottish authors and illustrators of picture books, fiction and non-fiction. I was approached by Emma to create a brand and website for her new agency which was launching as an offshoot of the Children's Books North network, which Emma had founded and run since 2020. Emma wanted the agency to have its own identity but to be recognisable as part of the Children's Books North brand. https://www.twine.net/signin
