“why don’t we sit down one afternoon and talk about your brand and it’s design needs”
I never thought that one day, something I used to say to people I’d meet looking for a creative, would turn into a name.
IT’S ALL IN THE DETAILS
I earned my degree in Graphic Design & Communication from Central St Martins, where I had the opportunity to intern at GQ mens magazine for two weeks during my second year. This experience paved the way for my career in the magazine industry right after graduating.
Over the past 14 years, I’ve had the privilege of working with prestigious brands such as GQ, Elle, Tatler, and InStyle in publishing. Throughout my journey, I have honed my skills as an Art Director and Graphic Designer, specializing in luxury publications. While working at Tatler as a Digital Art Director, I enjoyed the challenge of transforming 2D print designs into interactive and captivating experiences for tablets and mobile devices. It was truly fulfilling to bring my flat designs to life through animation and immerse them in the 3D realm. This ignited my passion for the digital design world.
Driven by this newfound passion, I made the decision to further my education. I enrolled in a Digital & Web Designer course, which I completed with distinction. This supplemented my prior experience with digital and web design projects I had pursued independently with various brands.
Armed with renewed confidence, I seamlessly transitioned into the realm of digital and branding. Working with startups to create brands from scratch, knowing that my designs would leave a lasting impact for years to come, has been an incredibly rewarding experience. I approach my work with meticulous organization and unwavering passion. Whether it’s designing for social media, print, websites, or physical products, I strive to create a seamless and cohesive 360° brand journey that resonates effortlessly.
The creative process and the relationships I build with clients are what truly drive me. Design is my passion, and I take great joy in fostering connections along the way. In fact, some of my clients have become friends—bonus!
With no ego and a surname that lends itself to playful branding (Pears, hence the logo), my extensive experience as a Graphic Designer, Art Director, and Digital/Web Designer is showcased throughout my website.
