Who Am I?

I am an all round creative designer. Having over 17 years experience in coming up with original conceptual ideas, effective graphic design and diligent artwork for a wide range of clients across a variety of disciplines.

I have been fortunate enough to of worked along side some truly amazing brands in a wide variety of sectors, some of which include; Coca Cola, Parker/Berol Pens, Dymo, Graco, Goody, Bristan, The National Trust, Camping & Caravanning Club, Baxi, Severn Trent Water, B&Q and Homebase.

I have a deep fascination in understanding the essence of a brand and how design translates through to the experience it delivers. As a creative designer I have been responsible for helping many businesses and organisations to define, develop and interpret their brand’s values, stories, architecture and proposition in order to connect with their audiences.
