Following redundancy as a result of the COVID pandemic, I started as a freelance designer, working with my own network of clients as well as regularly collaborating with design studio BradleyDyerRaw. This has seen me focused in the property sector for clients including Hill Group, City & Country and The Berkeley Group.• All encompassing design requirements for new-build property developments: phase brochures and advertising designs (print and digital), hoardings, social media assets and carousels, emails, newsletters, Rightmove graphics, large format graphics and overseas investor packs / exhibition graphics.• Design and creation of high quality magazine ‘Discover Watford’ for The Eight Gardens development by Berkeley. Designed to highlight Watford, it’s key location to London and associated work, lifestyle and education benefits. A key requirement was that this would form part of an overseas investors pack in both digital and printed form. The magazine was well received and future editions have been created following it’s success.

This was a success in improving customer and passenger flow and we were asked to expand the rollout to include the North Terminal.• Developed an HR brand to focus on careers at the airport to two distinct audience groups - careers with Gatwick itself and careers on the Gatwick campus (in shops, bars, restaurants etc). The campaign used bold headlines formed with a mix of illustration and typography, together with colour coding to engage the audience groups. The campaign resulted in a marked increase in applications for careers across the airport.• Design and development of client websites, creating concepts and collaborating with our web developers to build and populate them using the Storm12 bespoke CMS system.
