Available to hire
I have a strong publishing background, including several years as an Art Editor on consumer magazines—a fast-paced, senior role that demanded tight press deadlines. I now work as a freelancer, designing bespoke material for high-profile clients within the luxury travel industry.
I deliver high-quality work from concept to finish and collaborate well with people of all ages, aiming to be compassionate, kind and positive in every interaction. I’m adept at working to brand guidelines, interpreting briefs and creating dynamic designs that reflect each client’s ethos.
