Hi - I’m Anna a graphic designer with over 7 years’ experience, the last 3 running my own business; Doorway Studio. I help people bring to life the creative visions for their business; overhauling, reimagining and elevating brands, combining design expertise and human kindness, and opening portals to new possibilities. I don’t just complete a project, hand over assets and close the door. I often work with clients on an ongoing basis, becoming an advocate for their brand and a creative partner. It is in these ongoing working relationships that I find such huge satisfaction with my work. Building great connections with people is one of the things I love most about my job. I’m friendly, responsive and patient – fully understanding that the design process needs to be collaborative and handled sensitively. I work with businesses across a range of industries, including hospitality, food & drink, music, academia and more. I advocate for the success of my clients; always doing my best to go that extra mile to ensure they feel supported and confident. Services I offer include:- Brand design- Print & digital design- Social content design- Illustration- Simple animation- Creative consultancy With a background in printed textiles I originally worked in fashion, before going on to teach Art and Design, Textiles and Graphics in Further Education. I refined and developed my skills in graphic design at Shillington College in 2016, then worked in agencies for 5 years before going freelance full time. Design is part of who I am, and I couldn’t imagine doing anything else.
