Hello.

I’m a seasoned, multi-disciplinary visual creative with a focus on brand creation and expression. Passionate about craft and driven by ideas, I take a hands-on, open and collaborative approach to every project. I’ve led design teams and delivered standout work for brands like McDonald’s, British Airways, Audi, Samsung, Art Basel and Procter & Gamble.

Most recently at NatWest, I led the development of new visual identities for both NatWest and NatWest Group, while bringing customer propositions to life through clear, compelling design that turned strategy into something people could see, feel and use.

I'm currently supporting brands on a freelance and contract basis — from strategy through to crafted, visual execution.
