British Designer +
Creative Director
I’m a designer with a passion for bold, concept-led work that helps brands stand out and connect. Over the last 20 years, I’ve specialised in branding, web and product design, illustration, and photography—working with everyone from early-stage startups to global brands. Along the way, I’ve also had the chance to speak at design conferences across the UK, Europe, and the US.
I design for brands seeking a distinct voice. Confident, credible, and unmistakably their own.
