Essentially, I make things that look nice and work well.
It’s a bit more complicated than that I suppose, but that is the main aim; to present a brand's visual identity which successfully engages and guides a user's experience.
Expertise
Branding
Whether you are starting a new business or are looking to refresh your current brand, I can help identify your market, develop and grow your brand identity. From the fundamentals of logo design and style guides, down to the minutiae of selecting the correct paper stock for your new season brochure.
User Interface (UI) And User Experience Design (UX)
If you are in need of a portfolio website, an e-commerce store, a design system, or any other web based project I can help you realise your goals. I put in place sensible and simple processes such as site architecture workshops through to accessibility and user testing to ensure we create a product that everybody can use and appreciate.
Project Management
Creative projects can involve a lot of collaboration from front and back end developers, illustrators, copywriters, photographers and marketers. I can manage creative teams to make sure the project stays to brief and schedule.
Agencies
Trying to meet a deadline? Or is one of your team off sick or on holiday? Whatever the reason, I can offer that extra bit of support to help your agency through those busy periods. UI, UX or print projects I can be of service. I can work remotely from my home office or in house if you are based in Brighton or Worthing.
More gumpf about me
I have been working in the design industry since 2008 after graduating from the University of Portsmouth with a degree in Communication Design
I work with small to medium sized businesses and start-ups. I like to help businesses grow by creating work which makes a difference. I am passionate and invested in every project that I choose to take on.
2015-2018 I temporarily hung up my freelance boots to be head of design at a B2B SaaS startup for digital gift card delivery. I saw the company grow from a team of three to twenty over the first three years. I led the design arm of the company from brand development through to the ongoing design and growth of their customer web portals. During my time at the company, it became an award winning business which transacted over £100 million in gift card sales per year in the UK, US and Europe.
Now I am happily back in the freelance world, helping businesses strategise their offline and online presence.
