I combine design with communication and marketing experience. Today I work as a Designer and Communications Director.

Over the last few years I've worked with research groups, cultural organisations and independent brands, helping them turn complex ideas into clear, coherent visual identities. My focus is less on single deliverables and more on the system behind them: the grid, the type, the rules that let a brand scale without losing itself.

Outside of client work, I'm interested in how interfaces from computing history (terminals, OS menus, camera HUDs) can inform how we design for the web today.
