Why work with me?…

I work from home in Halifax, West Yorkshire. This gives me the creative freedom without having to charge expensive agency fees for my work.

Over the years, I have worked with various sized businesses, so I know that branding and marketing are important, but I also know that budgets are tight and you need value for money. With no overheads or middle people to deal with, you can guarantee that you will receive a bespoke service, within budget and delivered on time.

I am a yorkshire lass, so there will be no fluff and complicated jargon, just an honest and reliable service from start to finish. Dont just take my word for it, check out my testimonials.

Where it all started…

I started my artistic career as a graphic designer over 18 years ago, working on a variety of projects with the NHS and local businesses throughout Calderdale and West Yorkshire. Throughout my career I have helped business start-ups with shiny new logos, matching business stationery and providing graphics and a marketing portfolio to get get them started on their social media journey.

In between my graphic design projects, I have added a few more artistic skills to my portfolio with watercolour and digital illustration commissions and licensing surface pattern designs for home decor, wall art, fabric, stationery, packaging and phone cases.

About my work…

Apart from my graphic design work, my illustrations and pattern projects are often inspired by my love of nature, my ever growing garden and trips away in our caravan. But sometimes, I have a burning desire to do something a little different, such as the recent Coronation Of King Charles. The project included a collection of patterns and a unique tea towel design. Well, a coronation isn’t complete without the obligatory tea towel is it?!

I use a variety of mediums, including digital, watercolour, and gouache. I am always experimenting with new techniques, ideas and styles, and I am constantly looking for new ways to express my creativity.
