So, what can I tell you about me? Well, I’ve worked as a graphic designer for over 30 years. I originally trained as a print designer; however, these days I specialise in creating gentle, simple and stylish brand identity designs for creative entrepreneurs – but I still absolutely adore anything that’s been printed. I love the smell of freshly printed materials, and I love the feeling that different paper stocks and finishes can evoke.
When you work with me you’ll benefit from a combination of old-school experience and a modern design aesthetic – each identity design begins with paper and pencil, and I love to create physical mood boards for each of my branding projects. I love to incorporate that hands-on element, as it gives me the time and space to create something which is both intentional and meaningful.
I’ve always been interested in the arts, ever since childhood. Living in Scotland and spending a lot of time on the island of Mallorca has allowed me to really reconnect with my creative flair – watercolour painting, acrylic pouring techniques, Lino-cutting and print making, modern calligraphy and photography are just some of the things I’ve rediscovered. I’m also just a little a bit obsessed with books – I’ve got quite an extensive collection! I’ve always been an avid reader, researcher and writer throughout my life, and my meticulous attention to detail has even led to me having a book published!
If you’d like to find out more about how my “tranquilo lifestyle” has allowed my design aesthetic to flourish, then please get in touch.
