About



Biracial Ghanaian and British Heritage, raised equal parts in London and Edinburgh. My experience is born of these places; a weaving of customs, traditions, and influences. Whether a younger me thinking I was the next Tracey Emin or a working professional honing ideas and crafting intricate designs.


In addition to design and creation, I have depth of experience in leading creatives; nurturing diverse sparks from which exciting and, in the right setting, evocative ideas appear. Moulding skills to many styles & techniques, I have shown myself to be quick to learn new technology and ways of working. This has led to a range of skills and experience in a large host of visual fields. From illustration, digital design and motion graphics to creating risoprints and calligraphic wordplay with hand worked creative tools.



Over a decade as a professional creator means that I am able to conceptualise and realise unique and impactful work. My background includes corporate, agency, freelance - creative direction, graphic design, digital design and illustration experience, with a history of leading print, editorial, interactive and digital design projects.



I have worked on designs for global brands and companies, including Microsoft, NHS, npower, HMPO, Cadburys, and Mastercard, as well as a host of web3, metaverse, travel, financial, and recruitment businesses.

Highlights of my skills include:

  • Brand Creation and Extension
  • Art & Creative Direction
  • Team Leading
  • Project Management
  • High Level Print and Digital Design
  • Website, UX and GUI Design
  • Infographic Design (with training from The Slow Journalism Company)
  • Digital Illustration
  • Motion graphics
  • Pre-Press and Printing Processes

I am backed with a BA in graphic design and proficiencies in Adobe Creative Suite, HTML, CSS, and a range of other design, video, web, and multimedia softwares. Dedicated to bringing designs to life, my key focus is to exceed expectations. I enjoy collaborating with clients, creative teams and production professionals to deliver design solutions.
