About me
I’m an experienced and resourceful designer, with good level of technical knowledge. I originally started out in the 90s in graphic design, mostly working on brand communications, then adding web, digital and UX.
After lengthy experience as a brand and digital designer, I’ve become quite a generalist – but a specialist at figuring stuff out.
I'm not just a pure designer either, I’m curious enough to constantly learn new things. So my work experience has been full of other things like a bit of UX, Design Thinking, SEO and digital implementation. I don't do full custom programming, but I know enough to get things done, especially with AI.
My skills and interests have now gravitated towards a support and consulting focus. I take a multi-disciplined approach to supporting business owners with marketing growth, communications and prototyping ideas.

How I help
I help businesses plan, design and implement for digital marketing growth.
I thrive on reducing complexity and making clean, impactful designs. In many years' experience as a designer, I’ve covered everything from brand, to marketing, digital and product design.
I’m best suited to iterative problem-solving work and visual design updates.
If you’re building something and need design to make it clear and compelling, I’d love to hear about it. If you have online ideas you need prototyping or advice on how to, I’d love to hear about that too.
