I'm a visual artist, creative director, and producer. I work across photography, illustration, design, film, and animation, developing ideas from concept through to final delivery. For animation projects, I develop the concept, storyboard and illustrate every frame before collaborating with animators to create the finished film.

I specialise in visual storytelling for organisations working in health, social care, education, and the charity sector. Much of my work explores complex or sensitive subjects, where creativity needs to communicate with clarity, empathy, and care. I also work across a wide range of sectors, adapting my approach to suit each brief.

Yes. Much of my work involves complex and sensitive issues, including child exploitation, racism, trauma, and social justice. I'm experienced in trauma-informed communication and accessibility-led design, creating work that is thoughtful, inclusive, and respectful of the people and communities it represents.

I work with agencies, charities, public sector organisations, universities, healthcare providers, and brands. Clients have included Barnardo's, Great Ormond Street Hospital, the University of Warwick, and the Science Museum. I'm equally comfortable working directly with clients, as part of an agency, or as part of an in-house team.

Every project starts by listening. I take the time to understand your organisation, what you do, what you stand for, and what you want to achieve.

I also think carefully about your audience. What do they already know? What do they think? What do they need to feel?

Taking the time to listen, explore, and understand helps uncover the story your audience can connect with and shapes the creative direction from the outset.

Collaboration is an important part of my process. From the first conversation through to creative sign-off and final delivery, I work closely with you to develop ideas, refine the work, and make sure the final outcome achieves what it needs to.

Both. I regularly work independently, but I also build and lead teams of trusted freelancers when a project needs additional skills or capacity. I'm equally happy collaborating with existing in-house teams, agencies, producers, or specialist partners.

Yes. I can lead projects from the initial brief through to final delivery, managing creative direction, production, schedules, and collaborators. If you only need support with one stage of a project, I'm happy to do that too.

Yes. Some clients come to me with a fully developed brief, while others have an initial idea that needs shaping. I can help define the concept, identify the right creative approach, and develop it into a clear, engaging piece of work. Whether it's a campaign, film, animation, or visual identity, I work with you to turn ideas into something purposeful and effective.

Absolutely. I'm experienced in working within established brand guidelines while finding creative ways to communicate your message. Where appropriate, I can also help develop or evolve a visual approach, ensuring the work feels consistent with your brand while meeting the needs of the project.

Yes. I can be involved from the earliest stages of a project, helping shape the creative strategy and visual approach, or I can join an existing project to lead a specific element. Depending on the brief, my role might include concept development, photography, illustration, art direction, production, or managing the creative process from start to finish.

I hold a BA in Film, Video and Photographic Arts and an MA in Imaging Communications. I also have postgraduate training in AI and digital marketing, immersive technologies, documentary filmmaking, and visual anthropology, helping me combine creative practice with strategic thinking.

Every project is different, so I provide bespoke quotes based on the scope, timeline, and requirements. Get in touch with your brief, and I'll be happy to provide a proposal.

I'm based in Oxford and work with clients across the UK and internationally. Depending on the project, I work remotely, in person, or through a hybrid approach.

Timelines vary depending on the size and complexity of the project. Once we've discussed the brief, I'll provide a realistic schedule and keep you updated throughout the process.

Absolutely. If you'd like to see examples relevant to your sector or project, just get in touch and I'll share suitable case studies or references.

The easiest way is to get in touch with a brief outline of your project, timescale, and any key requirements. I'll let you know my availability and the next steps.
