A freelance graphic design consultant with over 15 years of experience in creating / evolving brands in a variety of market sectors.

I am passionately interested in brands, how they are created, how they are perceived, and the evolution of brands.


Agencies typically hire me at the start of branding and identity projects, to conceptualize and help identify possible design directions. I also have experience in following projects through, ensuring a high quality of design delivery.

Individuals and organizations hire me directly to create a strong identity for them or their company.
