Specialities include:

CONTENT CREATION

At the heart of my content creation work is a passion for creating eye-catching visuals and copy for different brands, with a focus on social media channels or websites. Working towards brand guidelines, my aim is to help you engage and grow an audience. As well as planning and producing social media plans and content, I create blog posts, newsletters, website graphics or printed media where required.

The visuals I create include everything from graphic design to illustration to photography, as well as brand design itself (including logo design, creating brand guidelines, producing and giving guidance on web design). Previous clients include Oberlo, Handshake, Sampa, BuzzPinky, Charity Winners and Co-Tasker.

My work here is flexible - my aim is to help your company grow and create a strong visual brand, as well as a strong social media presence.

COPYWRITING

I specialise in providing copy to specific briefs for a range of clients, with a particular focus on travel, beauty, fashion, art and food. Clients include Tui, Boden, Medium, Bags of Love and Vita Hair and Beauty. I work with both long and short form content to fit brand guidelines, including specialised blog posts, opinion articles, e-commerce descriptions, newsletters and more - all in accordance with SEO requirements and working to actively engage readers.

GRAPHIC DESIGN & ILLUSTRATION

My graphic design and illustration work includes commissions and brief work for various clients in a range of styles, including Shopify, WTF is HPV, Oberlo, BuzzPinky and independent brands. Whether you need illustrations or graphics for a digital magazine, child's book or your online shop, we can work together to find a style that suits your needs.

SOCIAL MEDIA CONSULTING

The key to brand growth - social media. By designing and implementing social media plans I can help bring your brand engagement and reach to a wider audience. My social media consulting usually includes creating visuals, copy, scheduling posts, paid ads and promotions, SEO and hashtags research, and analysing performance with regular reports on analytics.

Oberlo (Shopify)

Ecommerce platform

Graphics, Copywriting & Consulting

For over 2 years I worked alongside the team at Oberlo and Shopify.

My work for Oberlo primarily involved creating graphics, illustrations and written content across the company's social media channels (including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and Youtube). Alongside this I developed content ideas and managed the calendar, used analytics to assess performance whilst creating regular reports, and scheduled all content using various scheduling platforms. I designed copy and graphics in-line with brand guidelines, worked directly with consumers, and helped grow the company's digital presence.

For this project I designed and implementing a social media plan - ultimately growing web traffic and Instagram followers organically from 30,000 to 120,000. The focus of this was to encourage individuals to try dropshipping or build their own brand, inspiring users to explore the various 'remote work' options available to them.

WTF is HPV?
Sexual Health Blog
Graphic design and illustration

A digital magazine created with an NHS sexual health resident, focusing on the stigma surrounding HPV and aiming to provide an unbiased, non-judgemental source of information online. For this role I created a range of illustrations and graphics suitable for both the blog and social channels, as well as implementing and planning the Instagram schedule. It was imperative to ensure the graphics could translate across all mediums, and were formatted for both digital and print mediums.

Illustration Commissions and Brief Work

A range of commissioned portraits and pet illustrations for independent clients, including a local author for a children's book, a commission for a London-based cafe, and designs for social media icons and individual websites.

Bags of Love & Contrado
Print-on-demand service and fashion brand
Content Creator and Editor

My role at these sister companies consisted of creating content across the two fashion, art and homeware brands, including website copy, blog posts, features, guides and product pages, and working with marketing strategy to ensure all copy is in-line with brands. I regularly liaised with textile designers and artists to create the website marketplace.

A highlight of this role was working with in-house photography, styling sets and models for photo-shoots alongside artistic director, all which greatly improved my skills and interest in art direction for editorials.

I also worked with SEO daily to increase traffic for website and blogs, helping to maximise communications and maintain a high quality of content. Alongside this, I designed and implemented the social media calendar alongside the in-house team.
