Who’s this designer we’ve been hearing all about?
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 are now apps, but the process for me remains much the same. It’s all about the idea and it’s journey.
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 globe 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 work remotely from the South East of England, quickly able to link up to support internal creative teams, or work on individual projects alone. I always ensure final delivery looks its best and is delivered on-time.
