Hi there! I'm a Graphic Design Director based in London.
My background is in visual identity design and illustration, but in more recent years I have specialised in graphic design for the film industry. I love creating detailed visual worlds based on engaging stories and thorough research, whether for a feature film, a global brand or a small local business.
