You can book my freelance services on a daily or weekly basis, or I can be assigned a project to work on within a specific timeframe.

Agencies and established creatives seeking beautiful, professional freelance graphic design that reflects the quality of their brand. I can join an existing agency team or support your small business directly. If we’ve worked together before, this is a great way to expand your branded collateral.
-
When I work with an agency, I strive to slot into the existing team and maintain consistency. As such, your project will be delivered to meet your individual requirements.
I approach other freelance work with a similar mindset, supplying your design files in a pre-agreed format of your choice.

My fee will depend on your individual requirements, but to give you an indication of cost, my day rate is £300 with a minimum booking of one day. Project rates and retainers can be arranged.
Design Days
8hrs of dedicated design support for your creative business.
Design Days are ideal for ticking off those tasks that tend to languish at the bottom of your to-do list. Perhaps you’re too busy to work on that much needed media kit, or you simply don’t have the skills to design your own packaging. Whatever you’re struggling with, I can be your in-house designer for the day, leaving you free to focus on other things.
To ensure we achieve as much as possible in the time available, we’ll agree the scope and style of your project in advance. You’ll also be asked to provide any written content and imagery before your Design Day begins.
-
This service is perfect for independent artists, small craft businesses, and creatives who value good design but don’t have anyone in-house who can help them. You might have a handful of design tasks you’ve been meaning to get to or a list of things beyond your skillset.
Design Days are also suitable for businesses who want to build a long-term relationship with a skilled, reliable designer who can support them as they grow.
-
This will depend on the tasks you want me to focus on during your Design Day, but your completed visual assets will be delivered to meet your individual requirements.
I can provide absolutely everything needed for both print and digital outputs, including SVG, EPS, PDF, PNG and Jpeg file types. If necessary, I can also supply certain assets in Canva, Powerpoint or Google Slides.
-
£450
My fee includes the Design Day itself and the work we’ll do beforehand to ensure we hit the ground running and achieve as much as possible in the time available.
Ongoing Design Retainer
Consistent, reliable support for all your graphic design needs.
Investing in a bespoke retainer package is an affordable way to ensure your visual identity remains cohesive across multiple touchpoints. This option is also ideal for anyone who needs design assets on a regular, reoccurring basis, but isn’t ready to commit to employing a full-time designer.
I can provide a wide range of services, from expanding your brand’s visual language with icons and patterns to packaging design and more. My work is designed to make an impact, transform perceptions, and enable your ideal clients to experience your brand in the most immersive way. Whether you need support on a weekly, monthly or quarterly basis, we’ll devise a package that works for you.
-
Due to the nature of your business, you require design assets on a regular, ongoing basis. For example, you might offer a monthly subscription box, launch new products every quarter, or release reports seasonally. Most importantly, you’re keen to build a long-term relationship with a skilled, reliable designer who can support you as you grow.
-
This will depend on the visual assets you want me to create, but I can provide absolutely everything needed for both print and digital outputs, including SVG, EPS, PDF, PNG and Jpeg file types. If necessary, I can also supply certain assets in Canva, Powerpoint or Google Slides.

Whether you need support on a weekly or monthly basis, we’ll work together to create a package that’s right for your business. To give you an indication of cost, my day rate is £300 with a minimum booking of one day.
