About

I’m a Senior Graphic Designer based in London, with 9+ years of experience creating standout brand identities and campaign visuals across digital and print. I develop creative concepts and visual systems end-to-end-logos, typography, colour palettes, guidelines, and toolkits - then translate them into cohesive experiences across websites, packaging, social and CRM touchpoints.

I’ve worked independently with 40+ female-founded brands and entrepreneurs across fashion, wellness, interiors and lifestyle, and I also spent several years in-house shaping creative for a fast-paced activewear brand. Recently, I led graphic direction for major campaign moments and product launches, including multi-channel work spanning social, paid, email, e-commerce, print and physical experiences.
