About

Hi, I’m Nicola Vallance, a dedicated Graphic Designer and Freelance Artworker with many years of experience creating and preparing artwork from client briefs to print-ready files. I have a solid track record working with clients to meet their branding, design, and marketing needs, as well as liaising closely with printers and suppliers to ensure smooth project delivery.

I love creating designs that not only meet but exceed client expectations, whether it’s sponsorship material, annual reports, or marketing collateral. I’m very skilled at managing multiple projects while paying attention to detail, and I’m always eager to take on new creative challenges.
