Graphic designer, licensed illustrator and surface pattern designer based in the North East of England.GRAPHIC DESIGNI founded LKD in 2002 (formally Ice Design), following 7 years working within North East design and marketing agencies. I specialise in producing eye-catching and impactful designs in the following areas:* Branding and logo design* Newsletters* Advertising* Leaflets, reports & brochures* Exhibition graphics* Infographics* Social media graphicsILLUSTRATION & SURFACE PATTERN DESIGNMy surface pattern style is heavily influenced by my background in graphic design and this is reflected in my designs which are bold, vibrant and fun. I'm inspired by Scandinavian design and 1950s vintage fabrics and wall coverings. I’m driven by my love for creating patterns – especially florals – while exploring new colour combinations that catch the eye. Ultimately, I love to make art that makes people smile. I have work licensed in the US in the stationery, fabric and home goods markets and I have been commissioned to create pieces for brands across the region including packaging for bespoke candles, food packaging, illustrated prints, gifts and confectionery.
