ABOUT
•
MANCHESTER, UK
I’m a Manchester-based designer, originally from Cambridgeshire, with a background spanning digital and print, specialising in translating deep user understanding into considered, functional design.
I’m drawn to work that combines process, purpose and craft, whether that means designing digital products, improving user journeys, building design systems, or creating visual identities that can grow with a business. I believe good design should be purposeful, clear and considered, as well as visually polished.
A lot of how I work comes from a foundation beyond digital design. I come from a family of typesetters, sign makers and designers, which probably explains my attention to typography, composition and detail. That influence still runs through everything I design and create.
I’m known for being highly organised and systematic in the way I work, especially in Figma and file management. Creating structure, consistency and reusable systems is something I genuinely enjoy, and it has naturally become one of my strengths as a designer.
Alongside product and brand work, I’ve always maintained a wider creative practice through illustration, photography and print. I find working across disciplines keeps my thinking sharp and often informs how I approach product work.
Outside of design, I train most days and have a background in martial arts, which has shaped a lot of my mindset: discipline, consistency and long-term thinking. Beyond that, you’ll usually find me cooking, watching cricket, visiting galleries or somewhere near live music.
