Animation, explainers and video production from storyboard to final edit, including work designed for audiences with different languages, literacy levels and learning needs.
Print & Large Format
Brochures, editorial, signage, hoardings, vehicle and wall graphics, designed by someone who understands print production, so files arrive right the first time.

About me
About me
Twelve Years Senior Studio Experience. Zero Middle Management
Leading creative projects for long-standing public sector, arts and commercial clients, including Sandwell Council, The Belgrade Theatre and NHS Trusts. I have transitioned from being studio based, to offering my skills directly.
Experience has taught me that real design is managing the entire process, not just the pretty parts. Being involved in projects from initial discovery to final delivery-covering concepts, artwork, production, supplier management, and installation. You deal with one accountable expert who gets it done.
Designed for Everyone!
A core part of my approach is ensuring work is genuinely accessible for all. I consider detail so the final product resonates with its audience-whether that's animations built for neurodivergent audiences or campaign materials for non-native English speakers. Clear communication is never an afterthought, it's the starting point.
Based in the Midlands. Available Everywhere!
Located in Warwickshire, I work on-site across Coventry, Birmingham, Leamington, Warwick and Banbury-remotely with clients anywhere.
