I am a graphic designer, web designer, and advertising creative with more than three decades of experience, now based in the UK city of Brighton and Hove.
To stand out in a world of algorithms, hashtags, and followers, I believe that good design and strong creative has never been more important.
Through simple, clear communication, my creative helps products and services stand out from the crowd, ensuring they remain memorable and attract potential customers.
I provide a distinct point of difference that captivates and generates a response from audiences.
I have extensive experience in print design, graphic identity creation, corporate collateral, marketing materials, advertising campaigns, logos, posters, packaging, billboards, signage, publishing and websites.
A small sample from my creative & design portfolio can be viewed here.
My accolades include numerous design and marketing awards, and I’m proud to be a Professional Member of the Designers Institute and Accredited Fellow of the Society of Industrial Artists and Designers (SIAD).
