About

I am a highly motivated and enthusiastic Graphic Designer with over 20 years of experience in the design industry. My career has spanned a broad range of print and digital projects, always with a focus on delivering work to the highest design standards. I’ve worked both in multi-disciplinary design agencies and as a freelancer, which has equipped me with a diverse and adaptable skill set.

I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with local and international clients, including high-profile brands like Strathberry and institutions such as Edinburgh University. I have a passion for typography and enjoy creating impactful branding, digital design, packaging, and advertising materials that stand out.
