Thank you for visiting my website. I provide mindful branding, design and creative direction, alongside illustration, visual content and written communications. With over two decades of creative experience, I help businesses communicate clearly, professionally and authentically through thoughtful visual storytelling.
Much of my work takes place behind the scenes on confidential projects across manufacturing, technology, heritage, charity, healthcare and community sectors. This includes branding for new businesses, proposal and funding documents, design work supporting business proposals, reports, product manuals, technical documentation and communications designed to present complex information in a clear, accessible and professional way. I also occasionally provide trusted studio overspill support for agencies and creative teams. My role often involves structuring large amounts of content into documents and visual systems that are engaging, easy to navigate and aligned with each organisation’s audience, values and goals.
I understand that some projects require discretion and confidentiality, and I am happy to work under non-disclosure agreements where needed.
Below, you’ll find more information about the services I offer.
graphic design
Graphic design has been at the heart of my career for over 25 years. With a degree in Graphic Communication and extensive industry experience, I’m passionate about helping businesses grow through thoughtful branding, design and visual communication.
I create considered, mindful design that reflects each company’s ethos, taking the time to understand their values, audience and goals. My aim is always to build strong collaborative relationships so the work we create feels both intentional and effective.

illustration
Illustration has become an increasingly important part of my work in recent years, with projects ranging from training materials and apps to book covers and digital content.
My illustration style is adaptable yet recognisable, allowing me to create work suited to a wide range of audiences and purposes. Whether developing a bold cover design, a set of icons for digital platforms or artwork for printed learning resources, I aim to bring clarity, warmth and personality to every project.
content creation
I began writing in 2014 through my ‘Digging the Earth’ blog, where I share my experiences of allotment gardening alongside reflections on mental wellbeing and creative living. Since then, the blog has grown into a regular column for The Derbyshire Times.
Alongside gardening and wellbeing content, I also write about art, design, branding and creative business for Evoke Visual, as well as mindful and creative living for Positive Mental Artitude®.
I also provide blog writing and written content for clients where needed. If this is something you’re looking for, please feel free to get in touch.
Thank you for considering my services. I believe in building thoughtful, collaborative relationships with my clients and providing creative solutions tailored to their individual needs. I take the time to ensure we’re the right fit for one another, with shared values, clear communication and a strong understanding of each project’s goals.
Not every project or partnership is the right fit, and that’s completely okay. I believe the best creative work comes from mutual trust, collaboration and a shared vision from the outset.
