How can I help?
Why hire a freelancer?
If you've landed on this page you are probably thinking you might need to hire a freelancer. Maybe you need some help creating stuff for a new marketing campaign. Or you're thinking the company logo is looking a bit tired and could use some creative magic. Or maybe it's finally time to wrestle that Powerpoint sales deck into submission. A freelancer can help you with all of those things and a whole load of other stuff too. And if you find the right one (that might be me) they can make it painless for you. Responsive, efficient, cost-effective and flexible. Design without the drama.
Here's five good reasons why it makes sense for your business to partner with a freelancer like me:
1. Expertise without the overhead
As a freelancer, I bring years of professional design experience to the table without the additional costs associated with hiring a full-time employee. No recruitment fees, no long-term commitments – just great work when you need it most. I can offer a fresh perspective on a project or take some of those smaller jobs off of your hands allowing you to concentrate on the bigger picture stuff.
2. Flexibility to meet your needs
Hiring a freelancer means you can scale up or down depending on your workload or project requirements. Having worked in the industry for over 30 years I am used to working to tight deadlines and ever changing timelines.
Short-term projects: Need a presentation or marketing collateral turned around quickly? I am always open to chatting about what can be achieved in the timeline and for your budget. And if I can't help you, I'll tell you. I only take on work I know I can do a great job on.
Ongoing support: Working regularly with clients means that I get to know their business. I have an in depth knowledge of their brand and messaging. And I have all their assets to hand for turning projects around efficiently and without having to ask a million questions.
3. A tailored, collaborative approach
Unlike large agencies where you may feel like "just another client," I work closely with you to understand your business goals and create designs that bring to life your vision. I can help you finally get all of your marketing materials on brand with the minimum of fuss. WhatsApp, email, video call or good old fashioned chat on the phone, I can tailor my approach to however you like to work.
For design agencies: I can be an extra pair of hands when you get busy. Fitting in seamlessly with your team, I can help ensure your clients receive the high-quality work they expect. From the outset we can establish how you like to work and I can fit around that.
Everyone was really impressed with your work. Laura said it made such a refreshing change to work with someone who just 'got it' from the start and commented on your exceptional attention to detail and fast, low hassle way of working."

4. Fresh perspective and creative insights
Sometimes, an outside perspective can make all the difference. As a freelancer, I can bring a fresh pair of eyes to your projects, combining creativity with strategic thinking. All backed up with years of experience working for all kinds of industries.
I can honestly say it’s been a total joy working with you and I’ve really loved your take on things, really refreshing! So I have no hesitation in recommending you far & wide :) "

5. Streamlined, efficient process
Coming from an agency background I've hired a lot of freelancers. It means I understand the frustrations that can arise. It's why I wrote my freelance promise. With clear communication, efficient workflow and a responsive 'can do' approach, I make the design process smooth and stress-free. Every time. My reputation depends on it.
