Welcome to my design portfolio
What you should know about me first as a designer, is that at my core I am an artistic, creative person — not only do I enjoy making my own art but I am a very capable graphic and product designer.

​I have always enjoyed the process of building and maintaining strong working relationships with clients and employers in order to produce creative, functional design solutions. As a result I have enjoyed working with my employers and most of my freelance clients for lengthy periods of time.

Creating great design can be challenging and hugely rewarding — from receiving a brief, creating concepts, designs, gaining approvals, making further changes then the final stages of proofing and file creation. I'm comfortable following those processes either on my own or within a team environment.

I always bring my creative 'thinking cap' to the table but recognise that the best solutions are not always entirely my own but can be the result of team or client collaboration — it helps that I have well developed listening and communication skills, get along with people well and maintain quality professional work standards at all times.
I have over a decade of design experience & love to produce creative, ​functional solutions for print and product.
