About me, my process and the studio on wheels!

I have nearly 10 years of experience in different areas of design, from illustration to UX to branding. My career in design started early on in life when I realised that I had a knack for drawing. This turned into many wacky birthday cards and gifts for friends and family before I went off to do a degree in Graphic Design. 

A few years of working in the industry, both in house and agency side, I was lucky enough to land a role within the charity sector as a designer and I soon realised that I wanted to use my time and experience to help other small businesses and non profits to fulfil their potential. 

I moved into a campervan with my partner and small dog Darwin in spring 2026 and have been visiting many places surrounded by nature, whilst designing for clients around full time van life.

Designer

A graphic designer and illustrator with over 10 years experience, and a huge dinosaur enthusiast. There would be nothing worse than finding out that my obsession with dinosaurs is a big no-no for you!

Obsessed with his ball, driven by food, and eager to bark at people passing by the van window (who are minding their own business), Darwin keeps things accountable.
