As a Senior editor and SEO specialist with 6+ years of hands-on experience in digital publishing, I help content teams produce accurate, well-optimized articles that rank — and stay ranked. My editorial work spans full content pipelines: from proofreading and copy editing to quality audits, SEO optimization, and managing large teams of writers and editors. Most recently, my quality audit work at A-Z Animals contributed directly to the site recovering its Google first-page rankings following the 2024 algorithm update — a result that speaks to how seriously I take both editorial standards and search performance. I bring an unusually analytical mindset to editorial work, grounded in a background in science, accounting, and data systems. That means I don't just catch errors — I identify patterns, build processes, and help organizations scale content quality sustainably. What I offer: Proofreading and copy editing (UK and US English) On-page SEO optimization Editorial management and workflow development WordPress CMS (Elementor, Oxygen) 100% Job Success Score | 25+ completed contracts Available for ongoing retainer arrangements and project-based work (approx. 10–15 hrs/week).

I turn Figma designs into pixel-perfect WordPress websites, fast and clean. With my own AI workflows, I build in half the time most developers take, and the quality bar never drops. What I do best: - Figma design to WordPress, built in Elementor or Bricks - Pixel-perfect, fully responsive builds, tested on every screen size - AI-generated prototypes (Lovable and similar) rebuilt as clean WordPress - Advanced Custom Fields (ACF), custom post types, and dynamic templates - Performance tuning for top Core Web Vitals (FlyingPress, Perfmatters, LiteSpeed) Why I'm faster: I have built my own AI workflows for WordPress. They take care of the repetitive work, so my time goes straight into what matters: getting your build accurate, fast, and clean. Every build still passes my own QA before it ships, so the speed never costs you quality. How I work: - Clean, modular builds your team can update without breaking anything - I treat estimates as commitments, not starting points - Proactive updates, so you always know exactly where your project stands - Flexible hours and same-day replies, so I am never the bottleneck across your time zone Here is what working with me looks like: you hand over your design, and you get back a clean, pixel-perfect WordPress site, fast, with nothing breaking and no chasing needed. Send me a note about your project and I will walk you through exactly how I would build it.

I am a conceptually strong designer and creator who fully embraces the idea that concept is king. I believe that an effective strategy allows for a more efficient execution, and on the road to the completion of that successful project I will ask those important questions that will define the outcome of your end product. The average graphic designer WILL NOT and DOES NOT ask those questions, they will simply design something pretty. It is my experience and professionalism in strategy and design that will set your product/service apart from the rest and ultimately resonate with your audience. If you will take just 1 minute to read some of my client testimonials below, you will see proof of how much value I have added to their project, and I can do the same for you! I am not just a designer, I am here to be YOUR creative partner! As a designer I am very at home in the Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop + InDesign + Illustrator), as well as Canva if client needs require it, and can build a contemporary Wix site that is both engaging and optimised for mobile. So whether you're looking to roll out a design project that is digital or print, I am able to do both professionally and to a very high level of design. My career path over the last few years has seen me move from being a multi-award winning art director at Men's Health magazine, to the creative lead of a digital agency, and now one of Upwork's TOP-RATED branding specialists. This work is MY passion. It's what I do, it's what I love, and I am very good at it. I look forward to working with you! And please, if you have any questions about your project - feel free to drop me a message and I promise to get back to you within a few hours. ---------------------------- CLIENT FEEDBACK 📢 ---------------------------- ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 STARS) Clint was great. Super creative and great at what he does, but also a great collaborator. Everything was on time, communication was superb, and he was patient as things kept evolving during the project. He helped us with our website, e-book, postcards, business cards, and even content and technical help. Thanks Clint!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 STARS) Clint is a great designer. He worked very closely with us to get great work done. He has great skills and is a great communicator. He also is very creative worker, so feel free to give him "artistic space" to get the work done. We will be working closely with him in the future. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 STARS) Concept creation, understanding of project needs, creativity, budgeting, pretty much everything - awesome work, I'd hire Clint every time he was available! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 STARS) What a joy Clint was to work with. He grasped our concepts with ease and made them come to life beyond our expectation! We are so happy with the outcome and highly recommend Clint. We will definitely use him again in the future. Thanks again Clint! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5 STARS) Clint is fantastic, he took such care in figuring out exactly what my brand needed and created an INCREDIBLE logo and brand identity which suites my business perfectly. THANK YOU! I'm so thrilled.
