My design career began at Harrods, where I specialised in luxury packaging . A career highlight was designing a look and feel to celebrate Harrods’ 150th Anniversary, a collection that remained in-store for over a decade.

Kind words from creative partners
During my career I have worked as a...
London-Based Brand & Packaging Designer
Following this, I transitioned to London agency Ocean Blue. Here I focused on packaging and book cover designs. Later, as Lead Designer at Misys, I delivered internal and external marketing materials for a global brand. This included creating unique visual identities for key incentives while maintaining a consistent brand look and feel.
Design Management & Creative Direction
In my role as Design Manager, I provided strategic oversight and creative direction for a high-performing team. I specialised in project management, resource planning, and problem-solving, ensuring complex briefs were delivered on time and within brand guidelines.
While I found great reward in mentoring designers and witnessing their professional growth, my passion for hands-on creativity led me to transition into my own photography business. This move allowed me to combine my brand design background with a more personal, visual medium.
Brand Photography & Art Direction
As a business owner and photographer, I specialised in brand photography that integrated seamlessly with design layouts. By managing the styling, composition, and lighting, I ensured every image served the broader brand identity.
A primary example was my work for Direct 2 Florist (D2F). I captured the florists’ passion through a light, airy aesthetic, creating a consistent visual language that elevated their digital and print presence.
The Return to Strategy Graphic Design
Today, I provide a complete Graphic Design solution, taking projects from the initial pencil sketch to the final finished asset. My career is built on a unique professional mix, from designing luxury packaging for Harrods to managing global brand Misys.
This diverse background gives me a deeper understanding of your requirements. I don’t just “design”; I listen to your brief to ensure the final result works across all your marketing channels. While I now focus solely on Graphic Design, my experience in Creative Direction and design management allows me to expertly oversee the entire process. This includes managing trusted suppliers to ensure every visual element fits your brand perfectly.
Beyond the Studio
When I’m not at my desk, you’ll usually find me exploring the local Cheshire countryside with my husband and our puppy, Pippa. These walks are a constant source of inspiration for my drawing and painting, allowing me to recharge and bring a fresh, creative perspective back to every design project I take on.
From launching your look to visualising your wins, I’m here to help.
