I'm an independent designer and art director with 25 years of experience working in design for print, identity, packaging, display, and retail space with a bit of digital where needed. I work across many sectors including finance, retail, science and fashion. I love brand, strategy and building visual landscapes with a focus on quality, performance and legacy.
Building close, long-term relationships with clients, putting them first and starting by understanding who they are, and what they do.
I'm just as comfortable working with tiny start-ups, manufacturers, public services or major high-street retailers.
With every new project, I strive to do something new.
Alongside my design practice, I'm the creative director and co-founder of The Silverhill Press an independent digital press focussing on photography, and founder of AmbitiousOutsiders a digital micro-press focussed on working with artists, performers and photographers. I'm also building a SubStack that examines the experience and challenges of surviving long-term as an independent designer in the creative industries.
Originally from the North of England and now based in Hastings on the South Coast, I studied at Camberwell and the RCA.
(I also have a whippet called Nancy)
Always happy to chat about new projects and opportunities.
Thank you!
