I like to understand a brand before I start designing for it. For the past seven years I’ve worked in an advertising agency, in in-house marketing teams and with my own freelance clients, on everything from brand identities and websites to campaigns, packaging and an exhibition booth. I work closely with marketing and sales, so every project starts with a simple question: what does this design need to do?

JUNE 2024 - PRESENT

neoshare

At neoshare, I led the design of a new website for a valuation business that used to be part of the group, working with internal teams and external developers from concept to launch. The LinkedIn content I design helped grow the page from 3,500 to 5,000 followers in six months. I also create materials for marketing and sales, coordinate print jobs while comparing suppliers on price and quality, and keep our design work organised in Jira.

Eightcap

At Eightcap, I worked with the marketing team to refresh the B2B brand and kept it consistent across projects. I created brand identities for white-label offerings and new products, worked on seasonal and annual campaigns across several channels, and designed the company’s booth for iFX Expo Dubai.

AUGUST 2019 - JULY 2022

Ideas Lab

At Ideas Lab, I designed corporate materials for clients like Bulstrad Life and BNP Paribas Personal Finance, always within their brand guidelines. I came up with social media content and digital ad campaigns, gave email campaigns stronger visuals that lifted engagement, and created brand identities for new-business pitches, some of which won the account.

Alongside my full-time work, I’ve been freelancing since 2019 for clients in lifestyle, fashion, fitness and tech. I see myself as a creative partner, not just the person who executes the design. I get to know the business and its audience first, then help shape the brand and how it communicates, from the first idea to the finished work. That includes building the Squattin’ DUCK brand from scratch and an ad video for Profit Tips with over a million YouTube views.

I plan ahead, keep priorities clear and flag problems early. Less chaos means more time for the design itself.

I like ideas that are fresh but also useful. A clever visual is only worth it if it helps people get the message.
