Pitch, editorial and concept designer
Award-winning, purpose-led designer. Strategic director. Empowering manager. With over 10 years of experience in communicating ideas, stories, and emotions for organizations across London, EMEA, APAC, and the Americas, I have a diverse omnichannel experience, predominantly in in-house environments where I have developed local and global creative teams. I am equally experienced in leading and producing B2B and B2C projects in the Insurance, Media, Energy, Hospitality, Sustainability, Pharmaceuticals, and Data industries, as well as NFP Charities. I have collaborated with large consumer brands like O2, eBay, Emirates, Ralph Lauren, Boots, Dr. Martens, DreamWorks, and The North Face, and worked in-house or developed internal design teams at major players such as Howden, AstraZeneca, and Lightsource BP, as well as smaller businesses and startups.

Projects

Cyber Report

A small report for Howden, a global insurance broking company, based in the City of London. The aim to impactfully and memorably portray the result from a survey of cyber-professionals about the risks that currently lay in the industry, where protection is needed and why. The title copy was written by me, as I often provide suggestions for impact wherever possible. The colour scheme was picked from a wide palette, but my choice for these greens ('moss' and 'pistachio') was precisely to avoid the stereotypical blues you see in many other cyber-related materials, in order to stand-our from the crowd. the imagery selection was based on the nature of the document's theme. I.e, Bokeh also being a metaphor for reality being distorted by the lens of the viewer. See More

The Injury Index

Howden's Sports and Entertainment team produce an industry-leading report, annually for the data collected and interesting narratives extrapolated, in the Football industry. Ultimately the goal is to illustrate insurance needs, when sending this report to football clubs, but memorable data (helped via standout visualisations) helps place us as thought leaders, which as a byproduct helped the company in it's meetings with clients of all industries.See More

Pitchbook template

Howden's RfP teams in the Financial Lines area needed a flexible template to accommodate fast-turnaround times and cater to our need to communicate a variety of complex but templateable content. Multiple colour schemes of a document that consisted of 50 spread designs, with alternates to accommodate for less/ more information per spread. See More

Editorial credentials document

Howden sends documents for a multitude of reasons. In the case of this, short financial credential report, my job was to elevate the editorial design of an annual document (with it's new data) in the hopes of greater memorability and higher brand esteem from their clients and prospects.See More

M&A Annual Report

Annual reports and part-and-parcel for most of the teams at Howden, as it's important to internally report on the team and company in it's specific sector but also to advertise externally our knowledge of the industry and how we perform differently. Inherently, the ambition of stand-out visuals and maximum impact on the reader was needed to accompany this impressive content. So, data visualisations a high-impact layout was pivotal on this project.See More

A grassroots horse riding brand for young members

The Howden way was an initiative for future horseriders, for which Howden wanted a young-feeling logo and supporting brand materials to be used predominantly at events with the aim of sign-ups.See More
