The backbone of  design,
from advertising campaigns to information graphics,  initially needs creative thinking for a
good solution for you to give maximum effect
and
understanding  to your customer.

I've worked from simple business cards to full scale overhaul of a business branding, your choice!

Websites

I design websites which gives access to your business 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week . I can also host and manage your site yearly so there’s easy access for changes and control.

Watercolours, pen & inks were my main form of illustration.

Adobe and Apple came about in the 80's and made a tremendous leap for the world of media.
Now I have moved on from Adobe to affinity software which is produced in UK

Photography

Photography was one of my main interests before embarking on a Graphic Design career.

After learning the traditional way, it was in the 80's when Adobe and Apple revolutionised the darkroom. and also finally the digital camera became available!

All these factors brought about an in-house studio with little reason to go for outside services, keeping the cost and time down to a one stop shop.
