Experience

As a Design Lead specializing in branding, marketing, and advertising, I thrive on the challenge of transforming creative concepts into impactful visual narratives. My role is to bridge strategy with aesthetics, ensuring every project not only meets business objectives but also resonates deeply with the target audience. I’m passionate about fostering collaboration within teams, mentoring designers, and pushing creative boundaries to deliver work that is both innovative and results-driven. Whether crafting brand identities, directing campaigns, or aligning visuals with messaging, I strive to create designs that inspire, engage, and leave a lasting impression.

I strive for excellence in all that I do, and this portfolio serves as a testament to my capabilities and accomplishments as a commercial designer working in house as a freelance talent over the past 18 years. 

Education

My educational background has provided me with a strong foundation to excel in my creative roles as a lead design artist, filmmaker, art director, and storyboard artist. Earning a BA Hons in Animation and Filmmaking allowed me to develop a deep understanding of visual storytelling, composition, and the ability to craft compelling content, which I apply directly to marketing and advertising projects. During lockdown, I completed a Higher Diploma from the Open University, demonstrating my adaptability and commitment to continuous learning even in challenging circumstances. Additionally, my Diploma in Commercial Design and Graphics equipped me with the technical and creative skills to design visually impactful campaigns across various mediums.

I thrive in both 3D and 2D environments and have experience working remotely and in-house, which has enhanced my ability to collaborate effectively with teams and clients. These experiences have shaped me into a versatile professional, capable of delivering engaging and results-driven visual content for marketing and advertising initiatives.
