AI can create a hundred routes. A good designer knows which one to take. With over 15 years of experience as a print and packaging designer, I specialise in creating distinctive, high-end brand experiences across the drinks, food, and wider product sectors. My work spans everything from premium packaging design through to beautifully crafted brochures and printed materials that bring brands to life in physical form. Having collaborated with luxury and premium brands, particularly within the drinks industry, I bring a deep understanding of materials, print processes, and production techniques to every project. From concept through to final artwork, I help businesses elevate both their packaging and print communications into refined brand assets that reflect quality, craftsmanship, and strong market positioning.

Four years of agency email experience, with a decade of design behind it. I work with independent brands that want emails that actually connect with their audience, not just land in their inbox. For craft-led and independent businesses, trust is everything. Your customers chose you because they felt something. A generic template undoes all of that. I design the visuals for campaigns, welcome flows, and customer journeys that hold onto the feeling your brand already creates. So every email builds the relationship rather than just filling a send schedule. My background in illustration means the visual thinking goes deeper than layout. I understand how to use image, type, and space to stop the scroll, earn the click, and make someone feel like they're hearing from a real person, not a marketing machine. The clients I do my best work for are makers, independent shops, and creative businesses who care deeply about how they show up. If your emails should feel as considered as the work you make, let's talk.
