Graphic Design and Art Direction
¶
I am a multidisciplinary graphic designer based in Bristol,
with experience across ideas based; internal communications,
employee engagement, copy writing, campaigns, print and
corporate communications, branding and identities, websites
and online media.
I take an analytical approach to design and try to produce effective,
engaging solutions, that are always underpinned by strong
conceptual thinking.
In my current role as a designer I am driven by the challenge of
understanding and solving problems for clients with innovative
solutions that create meaningful long-lasting change within the
workplace. I place emphasis on experimentation and play within
the creative process to come up with bold ideas that help companies
and organisations improve for the better.
