I love good design. And as design evolves, I’m always learning and adapting to work the problem.

I started life in the industry in 1997, when the internet was just coming to life. My tools were some fineliners, a scalpel, and a house brick of a mobile phone that ‘I’ll never use’. Those tools became apps; Photoshop’s ‘one layer’ became ‘smart’, and now ‘AI’. But the process for me is the same – it’s all about the idea.

Carving my new path as a fresh-faced junior, I started work in a small print agency. Here I learned all about the print process; from artwork to colour correction and repro – as well as how to make multiple brews. I found the long weight but am still searching for that tartan paint!

I’ve been lucky that my career has challenged me to become a well-rounded designer, and I’ve loved the journey this industry has given me so far. Currently enjoying the freelance world, I’m collaborating with the very best creatives across the UK and world, and working with some truly inspiring brands.

Contact.

I’m always looking to collaborate with new businesses, whether that’s a small startup or a global enterprise.

I can work remotely as well as in-house, quickly linking up to support internal creative teams when needed. Alternatively, I can work directly with clients on individual projects, ensuring it’s all delivered on-time and crafted to it’s best.
