I'm offering
I'm a senior designer with a focus on branding and typography and additional skills in type design and illustration. I have done branding work across a large number of business types. The work ranged from identity creation from scratch all the way through to the finished guidelines (ranging from 20 to 200 pages depending on complexity).
In my role I have overseen junior designers on branding related work.
I have also provided ongoing training on typography as part of the McCann Worldgroup learning programme, including a talk at the IPA. Recent work includes guidelines for Masternaut (this project won Silver at the Transform Awards 2019) and BMI (won Gold at the Transform Awards 2020). Other noteworthy clients: Barco Clickshare, Ideal Standard, Al Widyan, Save the Orangutan and Rockwool.

Fresh Britain.
I designed a book and a logo lockup for ASICS which was an invite for dealers who met certain requirements. It showed them what the benefits of the different levels of membership were. The text pages of the book had to be translated to 12 languages and then printed in the relevant countries. It was therefore necessary to create the possibility to insert the content in an easy way and to allow for varying numbers of pages. The screw binding facilitated that.
