My work spans presentations, marketing, and digital design, with a focus on making complex ideas clear and engaging. I value collaboration and bring a practical, creative approach to supporting teams and delivering meaningful results.

Digital Illustration

I use Illustrator to create digital illustrations that leave a lasting impression on the viewer.

Logo Design

My logo design process begins with quick pencil sketches to explore initial ideas. After reviewing these concepts, I select the strongest ones and bring them to life in Adobe Illustrator, where I refine and perfect the design, ensuring it aligns with both the brand’s identity and visual impact.

Visual Effects

Photo compositing and manipulation using Adobe Photoshop — a skill I’ve been developing since 2003. These pieces blend photography, layering, and concept-driven composition to create images that don’t exist in the real world. ‘Neurodivergent’ is a recent personal project exploring identity through visual metaphor.

Layout

I use InDesign to carefully lay out books, ensuring each page is visually cohesive and easy to navigate, while maintaining a strong focus on both design and readability.

Typography

I approach typographical design with precision, starting by exploring fonts and letterforms to capture the right tone. From there, I fine-tune spacing, alignment, and proportions in Adobe Illustrator to ensure the type is polished and communicates the message clearly.
