CONTEMPORARY AND INNOVATIVE
GRAPHIC DESIGN FOR BUSINESS
I am a freelance graphic designer with a studio, centrally based in Norwich, Norfolk. With a professional, reliable and experienced approach, I am passionate about the work I produce for clients.
From bespoke projects through to working with start-ups, individuals or established businesses, I always begin by understanding my clients’ bigger picture. I create brands and undertake design projects with a focus on effectively interpreting the ethos and end-goals, delivering lasting commercial benefits.
My work creatively translates a unique message, driving sales and gaining measured results with print and digital marketing that engages client audiences.
If you would like a no-obligation consultation for a graphic design project please do not hesitate to get in touch.
I started work as a graphic designer over three decades ago with Bennetts Retail Ltd, then freelanced with a few large advertising and marketing agencies in Norwich to gain experience in other industry sectors.
In 1999, I became Creative Director for Peter Lockyer Advertising based in Colchester, where I managed a studio team of five, producing recruitment based advertising campaigns and projects in print or online media for many well known public, private and not-for-profit sector clients:
