I help agencies, brands, and businesses with graphic design work that is ready to launch, not ready to be revised ten times. My core specialisation is static Meta ad creatives, backed by broader experience across social media content, templates, carousels, brand design, and print collateral. Over the past few years I have worked directly with established brands and performance marketing agencies across health and wellness, supplements, nutrition, fashion, e-commerce, healthcare, and the speaker and personal brand space. Top Rated on Upwork with a 100% Job Success Score and long term agency relationships built around consistent monthly creative production. Work delivered includes brand assets, content banks, presentation design, and ready to use template systems alongside ongoing ad creative production. What I bring to every project: → Static Meta ad creatives built to convert and delivered ready to run → Social media content, carousels, and branded graphic design → Light video editing and basic short-form content assembly → Clean product focused layouts that put your offer front and centre → Ads delivered in multiple aspect ratios including 1:1, 4:5, and 9:16 → Built to your brand guidelines with fast turnaround and zero hand-holding → Campaign batches and ongoing production delivered on time every time I work best in ongoing relationships where I can become a true extension of your team. I am proactive by nature, which means I bring ideas and angles to the table rather than just waiting for a brief. I build systems around the work so nothing falls through the cracks, and once I am in, I run independently without needing constant direction. The long term agency relationships I have built on Upwork reflect exactly that. If you need a reliable graphic designer who delivers without the back and forth, send me a message and let's get started.

Are your ads getting scrolled past? I design visuals that convert - not just look good. Over the past year alone, I've delivered performance creative for Magnet Plus, E-NET (Ireland's largest wholesale telecoms network), and multiple SaaS/LinkedIn ad launches - work built specifically to lift click-through and drive qualified leads, not just fill a feed. What I bring: 16+ years in design, the last several focused specifically on performance creative for B2B and B2C campaigns A brand and UX background most performance designers don't have, so your ads stay on-strategy, not just on-trend Fluent across Figma, Meta Ads Manager assets, LinkedIn campaign specs, and Canva/template systems your team can maintain after I'm gone Alongside ad creative, I also take on brand and Squarespace projects for founders, authors, and other personal brands who want their site and identity to actually reflect who they are, not a generic template. Top Rated, 100% Job Success Score, 350+ hours delivered on Upwork. If you need ad creative that's actually accountable to performance, not just pretty, let's talk.

Most ad creatives look good and perform poorly. The problem is designers who build for aesthetics, not outcomes. Wrong hierarchy. Weak hooks. No understanding of how paid traffic actually converts. I fix that. I design Meta and TikTok ad creatives specifically engineered to stop the scroll, communicate the offer fast, and drive the action — click, lead, or purchase. What this means for you: lower cost per result, higher CTR, and creatives that give your media buyer something worth spending behind. What I deliver: — Static and carousel ad creatives for Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok — Copy-informed layouts built around your offer and audience — All export sizes ready for campaign launch — Fast turnaround with clear communication My background: I combine graphic design with a working understanding of paid media strategy. I know what a creative needs to do at the top of funnel versus retargeting. That context is what separates a designer from a creative strategist. Recent work: Available in portfolio — Meta ad creatives for e-commerce and service brands. Trusted by brands across health, skincare, sports nutrition, and lifestyle — with a 5-star track record on Upwork. Ready to start? Send me your brief and I will respond the same day with questions and a clear path forward.
