About
I’m a hard working designer with a keen eye for detail and a passion for good design. My skills are in both print and digital design but more recently I have been focusing on the print side of things with my wedding stationery business www.littlebirdweddings.co.uk
I worked in a few design studios before going freelance back in March 2010. After starting a family I set up my wedding stationery business and took a step away from freelance design. Designing wedding stationery has allowed me to take up new skills such as calligraphy and also refresh and improve my watercolour skills!
Design skills
Logos and branding, graphic design and layout, typography, print design, website design, app design, image editing, illustration, watercolour painting, calligraphy and plenty of creativity!
Experience
I’ve worked on a variety of projects including branding and identity, websites, microsites, online banner advertising, email marketing, iPad apps and mobile games. I’ve had the opportunity to work for a nice mix of large and small clients including:
Sky, BP, Barclays, Vodafone, AXA, Thomson Reuters, REHAU, British Horseracing Authority, UCAS, RFU, ITV, Harper Collins, St James’ Place and a few local businesses too.
