I have fond memories of my role as a packaging designer for Harrods. Here, I learned how to be creative while following Harrods‘ brand guidelines. My packaging design for hot beverages and snacks was selected to mark Harrods‘ 150th anniversary, and I was pleased to see it on display 10 years later. I then moved on to work with a variety of packaging brands and book cover designs in a London–based design agency, Ocean Blue and Lead Designer at Misys.

As a Design Manager, I learned how to motivate a small team, problem-solve, and develop project management skills. I enjoyed witnessing the team’s growth, but I longed for more creativity. This was the main reason behind starting my own photography business.

Through styling, composition, and lighting, I was able to ensure that the imagery remained consistent and worked well with the design layout.  My brand photography for Direct 2 Florist (D2F) is an excellent example. The imagery was kept light and airy to showcase the beautiful floral arrangements and the florists’ passion for what they do best!

I have combined the skills I have acquired over the past 25 years and returned to what I find most enjoyable, which is graphic design. Dantuma Brand Design was established in 2020, and I now collaborate with other specialists like copywriters, photographers, and web designers to give you a complete solution.
