Here’s a mix of projects from branding, digital, print, and a few other bits and bobs.
Take a look around—there’s a little bit of everything 🧐
I’m a senior graphic designer at tothepoint, a branding agency. My passion for design started at a young age when I would customise Xbox controllers—long before I even knew graphic design was a career. It was something that came naturally to me.
After discovering that design could be more than just a hobby, I made the leap from working as a motorcycle mechanic to pursuing a degree at the University of Hertfordshire. I graduated with first-class honours and received multiple industry awards, including the YCN Student Award, Creative Conscience Gold Award, and shortlisted for the Brand Opus Chrysalis Award and Creative Conscience Award.
Originally from London, I later moved to Eastbourne, where I’ve settled by the sea—finding inspiration in both city energy and coastal calm.
tothepoint – Senior Designer – July 2018-Present
At tothepoint, a small but dynamic branding agency, I’ve had the opportunity to work across multiple design disciplines, spanning both print and digital. The nature of a smaller team has allowed me to take on a diverse range of projects, significantly advancing my expertise. My knowledge of print techniques and processes has deepened, while my web skills have evolved from basic understanding to becoming a proficient WordPress developer.
I’ve contributed to major branding projects for organizations such as John Whitgift Foundation and Lloyd’s Register Foundation, as well as digital projects for well-known brands like Popchips and Butterkist.
Collaboration has been a key strength in such a close-knit team. Working across multiple platforms, I’ve helped bring ideas to life through collective effort, ensuring everyone plays their part. My role has also given me direct client interaction—gathering feedback, refining ideas, and communicating concepts effectively to bring projects to fruition.
Stack PhotoBooth – Owner – August 2024-Present
Stack PhotoBooth is my side venture, born from a collaboration with a close friend who crafted a freestanding photobooth from American Black Walnut. Alongside this, we’ve developed the bespoke Stack Booth—a unique concept where photos are captured within a structure and collaged together, creating a distinctive experience.
I’ve handled all branding and marketing, as well as running the business. I also custom-built the website on WordPress, developing a fully bespoke payment and event management system. This project led me to dive into JavaScript and PHP—learning as I went, with a little help from ChatGPT, of course.

First BA Hons Degree – Graphic Design – University of Hertfordshire
Studying graphic design at university allowed me to develop strong conceptual thinking, generating original ideas at a high level—recognised through multiple industry awards. The course refined my skills in typography, layout, and design aesthetics, while providing the opportunity to work across various design disciplines. In my final year, I tailored my projects towards my passion for branding and creative campaigns.
Level 3 – Motorcycle Mechanics – Waltham Forest College
Before pursuing my passion for design, I trained as a motorcycle mechanic—an interest born from my time racing in the Stock 600 class. While I no longer work in that field, the experience sharpened my ability to think mechanically and approach complex problems logically—skills I now apply in digital environments and design challenges.
