I am a driven and creative Senior Graphic Designer specialising in the Arts, Culture and entertainment sector, with extensive experience in the full life cycle of creative project management, combining hands-on technical work with refined vision to guide concept-to-completion for high-impact projects. I continually refresh brand images with fresh ideas to meet evolving market needs, delivering designs for international accounts, artists and vision-driven creative and marketing agencies. My strengths include art directing photoshoots, high-end retouch, and end-to-end design for digital and print, while maintaining strong client relationships. As a freelance designer and educator, I blend industry practice with teaching, guiding students toward GCSE and A Level success and bringing hands-on craft skills from traditional to digital media. I enjoy collaborating on boundary-pushing storytelling in music and culture, and I’m open to new opportunities and collaborations that push visual storytelling in music, theatre and beyond.
