I worked for The Independent, i and London Evening Standard newspapers for just under 17 years, starting off as a designer in marketing and circulation and ending up as part of an in-house special projects team, Story Studio. We designed the majority of in-paper supplements and worked closely with clients to achieve what they and us felt proud to go into the paper. The last project I worked on was a 48-page Future London booklet that was an information and stats rundown of the last 2 years of the Future London project. We worked with Uber and Midtown amongst others, to work at making London a better, cleaner place to live.
I've since started my own company, creative75, to get some freelance work and create some personal achievements in the run up to getting something a bit more permanent. I've worked on a rebrand for a local sports injury clinic and on an interactive used tech UK map for giff gaff.

Graphic designer
creative 75.
I was made redundant at the end of September 2020, I made the decision to start my own design company, creative75, to do
some freelance work and bridge the gap between getting something a bit more permanent. So far, I've worked on a re-brand for a
local sports injury and massage company, Elite Injuries, helped design an interactive map for Giff Gaff, designed a new book cover for my
father, who's a part-time author and worked on some marketing material for Mawney Partners, a London-based financial search firm.
I love having a bit more artistic licence and being able to have a one to one with the client is great, as I didn't get to do that in my last job.
I feel as if I can take a bit more time over things now and talk through my thoughts on colours and feel of the artwork.
For me, it's been a bit of a restart for my career and I'm enjoying work again.

Independent Print & Media..
Activation was a small team of artworkers, designers, editors and picture researchers, put together for the sole purpose of designing our newspaper supplements, promotional emails, booklets, advertising promotions, and any other in-house design work. We worked closely with Marketing and Circulation, Advertising, Sales and Online departments in integrating all our work to ensure it was branded correctly and is of a high standard. I was fortunate enough to be able to work on the launch of The i newspaper, which for its time, was a groundbreaking publication.
