Resumé
I am a graphic designer, art director and educator with a diverse skill set and over 10 years experience working with both small and large organisations, in both the USA and UK.
I’m enthusiastic and optimistic and believe there is no such thing as a boring project. I approach every brief with energy, excitement and a belief it will be my best.
I believe that having a strong concept is the key to successful design and I work hard to develop a deep understanding of every project and its objectives in order to nurture an original approach and deliver an appropriate outcome - whether its a book, app, ad campaign or visual identity.
I have a particular passion for crafting brand identities, creating original and
effective campaigns, environmental and experiential design, creative typography, and human-centered design thinking.I strive to create beautiful work with a high level of craft, technical skill and material knowledge, and my biggest aim is to punctually over‑deliver, with a smile : )
