Graduating from Nottingham Trent University in June 2009 I began working as an in-house designer for STV International, a leading manufacturer of home and garden consumer products. In October 2010 I was sent to Hong Kong to work more closely with manufacturers and suppliers (returning mid 2011). I finished working with STV on 29th February 2012 to pursue a career as a freelance graphic designer.

I specialise in packaging, branding, advertising and marketing across a range of different mediums. I‘ve worked with major retailers such as Tesco, B&Q, Homebase & Robert Dyas in the UK and Brunnings, an Australian based national distributor and manufacturer of home & garden products.

The sourcing of quality suppliers and manufacturers of products/packaging in Hong Kong and China is also an area I have experience.Constant development of skills and learning new techniques are important to me, as well as staying informed on internet advancements and emerging technologies .

I am open to most projects and keen to work with small to medium organisations in brand development, advertising and marketing.

In 2011 STV invested in shrink sleeve packaging for number key products. Designing the sleeves for the featured products was a great experience; sleeves transform a dull product into something more engaging, freeing the designer from the limitations of the traditional sticky label.
