Available to hire
I have been designing lovely stuff for 40 years and still going strong. Branding, identity, corporate and editorial, you name it, I’ve done it for both print and the web. Drawing from my vast experience, I can provide the personalised service and attention to detail that so often makes the difference between great joy and great pain.
Above all my work is about ideas; ideas that engage with the people you want to reach.
