A bit about me
Manchester born Freelance designer since 2012 and a design graduate since 2003. Studied a BA Hons in Graphic Design at Arts University Bournemouth.
I’ve since completed a Masters Module in Designing the User Experience, at UWE. UX has a pull on me, and it heavily informs the way I approach each and every website project. I plan to work more in this field as time progresses.
My working experience since 2003 has seen me working as an in-house designer in a printers, freelance in New Look, in-house designer at a personal care company, then in London an Artworker at a corporate Christmas card company, a Brand Designer and product developer in a Cosmetic and Personal Care product manufacturers. After this role I went self-employed/freelance as Grounded Cloud working in design agencies/studios and supporting many startups and small business since 2012.
I’m also co-director of Storytale Festival, where a small group of local parents have come together to bring Bristol its very own Childrens’ book festival. We offer in person and online events by Bristol based Authors, Illustrators and Storytellers which celebrate all things stories – whether they’re written, illustrated or told. My role within this CIC is largely Creative Director, responsible for all things branding and web and every bit of visual communication in between…there’s a heavy amount of project planning involved too.
I like keeping busy and welcome challenges! ✌️
