i'm in the driving seat here at grafik8

After leaving Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design in London with a degree in Graphic Design, my first job was at The Times where I stayed for seven years. I then decided to go it alone and regularly freelanced for The Telegraph for four years. The pull of the countryside then became too great, so I swapped news for mews and am now Creative Designer at Cats Protection! On top of the day job, I'm kept out of mischief with plenty of other exciting design and photography projects along the way :-)

When I'm not hard at work, you can mostly find me travelling, horse riding, having fun with my camera, skiing in the winter months, scheming something entrepreneurial, spending time with friends, watching the world go by and generally going with the flow...

Have a read of my CV if you mean business;

Wow – it’s nice to have your design, so much more exciting and fresh looking. Annabel Burrows, Brand Marketing Manager, Faversham House
Thank you for illustrating Tory Burch's quote so beautifully and being part of CNN's International Women's Day project. We were thrilled that you took part - it was wonderful to have you participate.
       Your artwork really brought the quote to life and helped highlight the wisdom of women around the world. The quality of all the artworks was so high that we decided to print a commemorative book as a memento for some of the artists taking part. I'm pleased to let you know that yours was one of the illustrations chosen.
       Enclosed is a copy of the book. Please consider this a token of thanks for joining CNN to celebrate International Women's Day 2015. I hope you enjoy using the postcards.
       Thank you once again for being a part of this project.
