About me
About me
For over twelve years I worked as a senior designer at a Midlands studio, delivering creative for long-standing public sector, arts and commercial clients, Sandwell Council, the Belgrade Theatre, NHS organisations and many more. Now I work with those kinds of clients directly.
What that experience taught me: manage the whole job, not just the pretty part. I take projects from first conversation to final delivery, concept, artwork, production, supplier liaison, installation, so you deal with one person who's accountable for all of it.
A thread through much of my work is accessibility. Animations built for audiences with learning difficulties. Campaign materials designed for communities with dozens of first languages. Clear communication isn't a bolt-on at the end, it's the starting point.
I work from Warwickshire, within easy reach of Coventry, Birmingham, Leamington, Warwick and Banbury, and remotely with clients anywhere.
