Talented multidisciplinary designer and art director who has worked with both global and local scale clients.
With a love for branding and clever ideas, she has skills in design, art direction, illustration and photography. She studied Graphic Design at Central Saint Martins and has been in her field since 2010, working with the likes of Musicroom, Ogilvy & Mather, Unilever, Thames & Hudson, The V&A, Dove, Hellmann’s, Comfort, The Culture Trip, M&C Saatchi, SABINA and Yellow Bird Project alongside focusing on her own personal projects.
She has had the honour of designing for very diverse sectors that have allowed her to grow quickly as a creative and build versatile skills to a high level. She can easily jump from developing design ideas for a brand identity, to art directing and photographing a shoot, designing a website or packaging for a product, illustrating a book or creating posts for social media. Her experience also means her work fits in comfortably in both highly creative and highly commercial environments.
She grew up by the sea in the South East of England and spent her summers and winters surrounded by the awe inspiring nature in Finland. She has a slight obsession with California, music, terrible American TV shows and puppies.
