Together we translate your ideas into visual systems that connect with people on a deeper level. Through motion and storytelling, I craft identities that not only stand out, but stay with you.

Focus on progress,

Not perfection

For me, design has never been about quick fixes or making something look ‘nice’. It’s about getting to the core of a problem, understanding what truly sets the brand apart, and building a clear, compelling way to communicate that to the people who matter, one step at a time. From global names to early-stage start-ups, I believe in the power of motion-led identity design, crafting brands that resonate, captivate, and support growth across every touchpoint.

Built on consistency

Driven by discipline

After studying Industrial Design at Northumbria University, I built a strong foundation in problem-solving and design thinking, but it was branding that truly resonated, particularly the idea of creating identities that move, evolve, and communicate beyond static visuals. After graduating, I balanced freelance work alongside a part-time job, gaining real-world experience while learning how to turn creativity into a sustainable career. This journey led me to Cuckoo Design, where I progressed from Junior to Senior Designer, working across a range of industries and shaping brands through identity, motion and print.

Process

01

Discovery

I start with a structured kick-off conversation to understand the business, its audience and its challenges. The aim is to define the real problem before any design work begins.

02

Direction

Research and exploration inform a clear creative direction. Positioning, references and early visual routes are shared and discussed so we align on the same perspective.

03

Development

The chosen route is developed into a complete identity system. Logo, typography, colour and supporting elements are built and applied across real scenarios to ensure they work in practice.

04

Refinement

Feedback is reviewed collaboratively and the identity is refined. Details are resolved, edge cases are considered and consistency is established across all touchpoints.

05

Delivery

Final assets and guidelines are organised and clearly documented. You receive everything needed to use the brand confidently, along with guidance for future application.
