How I Work
I work with agencies and businesses in two main ways, as a senior freelance creative embedded into your team, or as an ongoing brand and design partner. Both are built around doing great work efficiently, without the overhead of a full-time hire.
For Agencies
Senior creative support, when you need it.
I've spent 20+ years working in agency and in-house environments at director level, so I understand how studios operate and what it takes to integrate quickly and deliver without hand-holding. I'm experienced across brand, campaigns, digital, events, editorial, and production. My toolkit is broad, I'll fit your workflow, not the other way around.
I'm available for day-rate freelance work on-site or remote across a wide range of briefs. Whether you're overloaded with a pitch, need a senior pair of hands on a major campaign, or require specialist skills in brand identity or illustration, I'm set up to hit the ground running.
Previous clients and collaborators include global media organisations, live events businesses, and sports broadcasting platforms. I'm comfortable with high-volume, fast-paced work and have experience managing stakeholders, timelines, and cross-functional teams.

Creative direction on your terms.
Growing businesses need great design, consistently. An ongoing creative partnership with me means you have a senior creative on tap: someone who understands your brand deeply, thinks strategically, and delivers work that builds long-term value.
I work with businesses that want more than a pair of hands, a creative partner who brings ideas, asks the right questions, and helps their brand grow with intention.
That partnership can cover:
-
Brand identity development and evolution
-
Graphic design for print, digital, and social
-
Campaign concepting and delivery
-
Packaging, editorial, and event design
-
Illustration and image-making
-
Ongoing brand guardianship and creative direction
Every arrangement is tailored to what you actually need, from light monthly support to a more substantial creative partnership.
If a traditional retainer model suits you, that works too. Let's have a conversation about what makes sense.
