As a graphic designer and illustrator I work commercially with the form, function and structure of images and/or text for print and screen to ensure that they work for you or your organisation in a positive way.

I believe that the success of any design rests upon the idea, that is the thought and research behind it which ultimately governs its suitability as a solution to the communication problem at hand. Therefore it is crucial that the correct problem is addressed.

It is for this reason that work is completed in house, which not only guarantees a personal point of contact but continuity which ensures that you will be listened to, so that together we will correctly identify the communication problem at hand so that this, experience and research is what drives the design.
