  • About

    15 years + industry experience as a designer working on graphics, packaging, branding and POS. I am a good communicator, pragmatic in my thinking and always try to consider the end result before creating ideas, to ensure they are suitable for the brand and cost effective to produce.

    Specialties

    • packaging design

    • branding & brand manipulation

    • packaging mock-up work for promotion

    • artwork

    • repeat patterns - interiors, fabric and print

    • photo retouching

    I work for big brands such as Paperchase, Boots, Joseph Joseph, Next, and Mark & Spencer as well as business start ups and sole traders.

    My goal is to be the best I can be and to work with others of a similar thinking. 'Design is not rocket science'... but using a designer with experience who will ask the right questions to create the best solutions will get you better results, a lot faster.

  • Education
    • 2:1 Product Design
      Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design
      1800 - 1900
      Starting with a product design degree has been a great benefit for me and the roles that I have taken on - I now have a great combination of 3D thinking with 2D experience and an all round knowledge of how packaging can help create a great brand as well as being purposeful in its own right.
