Design + Art Direction

About

I’m an identity designer that likes turning good thoughts into nice things. I aim to create timeless and original designs that combine smart strategy with inspiring executions.

I have over 15 years experience in design and branding, working at an array of respected agencies including Hingston, Special, Winkreative, The One Centre, and eskimo.

I work across a wide range of disciplines from identities both big and small to packaging, place-making, editorial and interactive design.  I’m passionate about the creative arts, food, fashion, travel, interiors and architecture and love designing for these worlds.

My approach to design is thoughtful, honest, optimistic and playful. I enjoy collaborating on projects with experts in different creative fields and learning about their craft and seeing beauty from their perspective.

If you want to work with me, please get in touch.
