Hi, I’m Amanda Fitchie, a freelance graphic designer with over 25 years in the design industry. I help brands tell their story through bold, creative, and polished design across branding, digital campaigns, print materials, and social content. I work daily with the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and bring ideas to life with a mix of creativity, technical skill, and a strong understanding of how design connects with audiences. I currently work part-time at Artisan Creative in Stamford, Lincolnshire, and I’m looking to supplement my income with additional part-time employment or freelance design work. I’m available for remote projects around 20 hours a week, with daytime, evenings, and weekends as needed. My day rate is £250 (or I’m happy to quote per project), and I have my own Powerbook at home so I can start immediately and deliver on time.
