I’ve worked with agencies, startups, and FTSE 100 clients, and recently founded a collaborative agency focused on sustainability-led brands. My skills span Adobe CC (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects), Figma, and emerging tools like Runway and Midjourney to create next-gen campaign assets. I’m currently looking for hybrid or remote opportunities.
