Experience
I am a graphic designer based in Northern Ireland and have been freelancing since 2007.
My creative path began in 1996 with a GNVQ in Art and Design. From 1997–1998, I studied Business, Leadership and Ethics at Martin College (now part of the University of Tennessee). I later completed an HND in Graphic Design at Blackpool & The Fylde College (Lancaster University), followed by a BA (Hons) Degree between 1999 and 2001.
During my studies, I gained valuable industry experience through an industrial placement with Higgins Advertising in Nashville, and later with Burson-Marsteller in London (now Burson Cohn & Wolfe).
After graduating in 2001, I worked as a designer within an advertising agency, as a pre‑press artworker in two printing companies, and within a local branding consultancy. These roles gave me a strong foundation across design, print, and production.
Freelance
After six years in design and print studios, I was ready for a new creative direction and moved into freelance work. I now collaborate directly with clients, building long‑term relationships and helping them achieve clear, effective, and imaginative design outcomes.
My experience spans both large and small format print, including books, magazines, logos, banners, and more.
Every project is approached with clarity and transparency, with upfront quotes and a commitment to quality. Supported by a trusted network of skilled printers, I ensure a smooth and reliable process from concept to completion.
Purpose
My purpose is to deliver exceptional design that not only meets but exceeds expectations. I’m driven by the challenge of transforming ideas into engaging, memorable visuals that leave a lasting impression.
Aim
My aim has always been to provide an effective, creative, and approachable design service. My portfolio includes work for schools, churches, youth groups, charities, historical organisations, and individuals. I pride myself on being patient, welcoming, and easy to work with, building strong and positive relationships with every client.
