Advertising Art Direction Branding

I’m an award winning designer who helps brands find their voice and connect with their audiences through compelling and emotionally rich graphic design. I believe that the best work comes out of close collaboration and partnership. With expertise across the spectrum of design practice, I am passionate about crafting brand identities, and developing immersive, effective brand communications that compel audiences and make them look twice.

My core skills include brand development and design, print design and advertising. I have experience across a wide range of sectors including healthcare, education, national charities and non-profit organizations, as well as consumer packaged goods.

The Virtual Community for Solo Designers Slack channel has become quite active and it is really great to see. The monthly meet-up and the open channel where we can help each other as solopreneurs is a good reason to join Slack, and to join the RGD if you aren’t already a Member.
