As a graphic designer I can help you create a beautiful web presence. I can develop the web content for your website. This includes, images, advertisements, web banners, brand material, newsletters, designing your blog posts, ebooks, social media posts and highlight videos.

I can work to improve your websites visual appeal by updating the content of you deliver. I can also help you develop a website from scratch through templated media such as square space, like I use or other host sites such as word press. Using these platforms will allow you to have some creative control with the content and allow you to get exactly what you are looking for without the huge expense of time and money getting a website designed from scratch.

I can create a range of web collateral for you including customised photography and illustrations for your business, ebooks to send to your customers, a regular newsletter, web banners and advertisements.

Even though we a reliving in a digital age analogue collateral for you business is still important. Actually it might be more important now than before. Every business now is seen online and this is great, everyone is accessible and this is the age of the small business. However having print collateral can set you a level above the rest. Having physical pieces connected with your business gives you a stronger professional look and greater respect within your field.

Illustration is such an eclectic field. From books to posters, websites to invites illustrations are used everywhere. Illustration is also a fine art form  creating beautiful pieces to liven up your living and work spaces. 

In their way I offer my service holistically. I can illustrate for all mediums, even a t-shirt or pillow case. Everything deserves a touch of beauty and art.

Whether it be a personal piece such as a painting of your favourite wedding photo or a commercial piece such wall art, branding material or book illustration I am happy to work for you. No job is too big or too small, illustration is a integral part of my heart and I hope to share my passion and skill with you in creating whatever it is that you desire.

For illustration work requests please use the contact form at the base of my page. I quote per project as this creative art form has too many variables to set a standard price. Medium, materials, size of project, reach and licensing all go in to the final product cost. I would be more than happy to sit down with you and discuss what we can do for your project in your budget.

Book and Publication Design

Books are very fine tuned pieces of art. From the cover and blurb to the subtle way the text is displayed across the pages. From the feel of the paper to the weight of the book in your hand. 

Books and publications are beautiful collections of knowledge and wondrous stories for us to delve into. I have a great love for this art form and I am dedicated to creating the best platform for you to share your voice.

Book design includes the typesetting of your book as well as the cover design, illustrations, content organisation and print setting. It is a delicate process to create the perfect book. Each book holds its own personality and this comes through the subtle nuances of its design as well as it’s words.

I offer my services to create the visual appeal of your book, including the creation of all necessary imagery, whether this be the capture of relevant photography or the illustration of a children’s book.

I am currently open to work with Authors and Publishers on books as well as clients with publications, single run magazines, business documentation, and portfolios.

Each book is individual and as such is the requirements of each of my clients. If you are interested in getting your book or publication designed please contact me through the form at the bottom of the page. If you are a publisher looking for a book designer or illustrator please also contact me for request of my CV.
