Bold ideas-led design

I am an experienced senior visual designer passionate about creating work that delivers on strategic needs—with clarity, simplicity, and craft at its core.

For me the best design always moves people. It creates a strong response on an emotional level. It makes people stop, think, question, laugh and smile. It uses the power of ideas.

I have extensive experience both in-house and within design agencies (over 14 years). Working across branding, identity, integrated campaigns, marketing, internal communications, print, motion, and digital.

Fidelity

L&G
Met Office
GSK
NATS
Northwell Health

The Wave

For the last three and a half years I have been working in-house at Tumelo, a SaaS fintech selling a proxy-voting platform to global asset managers and pension providers. I have been involved in developing and leading Tumelo’s design strategy and brand evolution.

I’m excited about working in-house with brands and the challenge of promoting their products and values. I enjoy working in teams and empowering others through design—enabling them to achieve their ambitions.
