Limited availabilityAbout
I’m a creative director, designer, and web guy at Brightfolk Studio, working with people who know their craft — and want their online presence to feel as thoughtful as their work. Mostly founders and small teams.
I love the research up front and the fussy bits at the end. Strategy, structure, and the final teensy nudge to letter spacing.

Work Experience
Studio for small, expert-led businesses — from HR consultants and cybersecurity specialists to photographers and home renovators. I lead strategy, identity design, websites, and marketing assets that help clients win ideal work and communicate with clarity.
Directed communications for a 1400+ person organisation, growing year-on-year. Led a volunteer team of a dozen creatives to deliver weekly internal comms, public campaigns, fundraising, and event marketing across digital and print.
Improved digital engagement through UX-focused design and front-end development. Partnered with marketing and product teams to turn complex messaging into intuitive, supporter-friendly experiences.
Designed and built client websites — from brand identity to front-end code. Worked across education, health, and retail sectors to create high-performing, conversion-focused digital platforms.
Developed visual content and managed web updates for a niche engineering provider. Helped make technical material more accessible through simple, thoughtful design.
