About me

I’m a UK based Freelance Brand and UI Designer with 3 decades of hands-on experience.

During this time, I've designed more brands and created more websites than I can count. Additionally, I've successfully designed, developed and marketed my own SaaS solution and have worked closely with world-class digital marketers and copywriters along the way.

I have a love for learning new things and expanding my skills, always having at least 1 new training course on the go at all times. Reading at least 2 books a month on business, branding or UI design also helps to keep me on top of my game and always moving forwards.

Where I can add the most value is when working on long-term projects that extend from initial brand design concepts into website and UI design, either by myself or as part of a larger team.

The work I do is highly process oriented ensuring the same excellent results every time. Combining this with my philosophy of clarity through simplicity allows me to push beyond the expected every time.

As a strategic thinker I can't get enough of that refreshing moment when a client understands and is delighted by a concept and execution.

Core values

Own the work

I treat every project like it’s my own and I’m a fierce advocate and caretaker of the clients I work with, eager to own my stake in their business and compelled to act on their behalf.

Leave ego at the door

Everything I do is the result of both individual and collaborative effort, this is guided by my deep respect and admiration for everyone I work with.

Lead with courage

I dare you to challenge me. I don’t get tripped up when things become complex, difficult or unfamiliar – instead I lean in. I see anything unknown as an invitation, and challenges as opportunities to excel. Even when it’s hard I’m glad for the chance to grow, learn and engage with my clients.

Expect the best

By default I believe the very best about the people I work with. This is true for both client and team interactions from the smallest task the biggest ask. Thoughtful questions and a listening ear help me address problems mindfully. Positivity, curiosity and communication are my guides instead of quick reactions and conjecture.

Aspire to excellence

I love setting high standards in everything I do, from the most mundane task to the most serious of decisions. I’m dedicated to my craft so I go all in every time, stopping only when I’m certain I’ve got it right.
