I've worked as a graphic designer since 1997 and specialize in designing and creating visual content for both print and online formats. I have a passion for creating bespoke, effective designs that sparkle like the sea. The challenge of designing something new fuels my creativity and love for what I do. With a wide and varied experience in graphic design, I work on everything from logos and business cards to packaging and promotional materials. When I'm not designing, I'm a married mum with two teenage girls, active as a cook, gardener, and dance mum, living and working beside the inspiring seaside in Eastbourne.
