About me

About me

I am a freelance designer & artworker with over 16 years of experience

From print & digital to exhibitions/events, branding, retouching, illustration and more...

 I’m currently available for remote and hybrid freelance and contract roles.

I can help with all of your design & artworking needs. I have a wide range of skills and have worked in a variety of sectors. 

As you will see from my portfolio, I am a bit of an all-rounder, with skills in print (annual reports, catalogues etc.), digital (social media images & reels as well as static and animated banners), artworking (multi-page docs using table/character/paragraph styles), exhibitions & events, large format, illustration, art direction, and project management, as well as everything in between! 

Most of the work I’ve done since going freelance has been with agencies (primarily in catering and events, though my permanent roles have covered the arts, fashion & retail sectors)

My Skills

I have developed a wide range of skills over the years, but I also love to dive into new projects, new software, and new situations – expanding and developing my skills as I go along.
