My graphic design process
1. We'll have an initial call
Before starting any project, or even agreeing to work together, I need to understand what it is that you want to achieve. This is so that we can get to know each other a little and identify the goals, complexities and processes involved.
2. I'll sketch ideas and review with you
I like to start working on paper. It's quick and easy to identify which ideas are worth pursuing and an efficient way of making changes. Once I have some ideas, I'll share these with you so that we can see which ideas are worth following.
3. I'll digitise the designs and iterate
Once we know which way to go, I'll digitise the sketches and we can review and iterate from there. It usually only takes me 2-3 rounds of iteration to arrive at a design you're pleased with. If we're doing print designs, I organise for high quality print drafts for you to review to get a real idea of the end result.
4. Sign off and sending your designs
Once you've signed off the design(s) we'll get organised and get your final files to you, along with any quotes that might be needed for your project to be fully completed. I get so much satisfaction from seeing ideas brought to life.

The Behavioural Experiments in Health network is an organisational network for experimental and behavioural research in health economics, connected through Universities across the globe for policy, practice and management.

Increasing the sales of home-made food items through better packaging design
I designed new packaging and labels that helped double the number of sales in the café. This project started small and with a clear goal: to reduce the cost and time spend on packaging. The bakery used to sell bags of granola where the whole bag was a custom design but this wasn’t very cost […]
Promoting new menu items with a window poster
The cafe wanted to celebrate and promote their new menu with a poster that could go in the windows. It needed to be eye catching and to be seen from over the road. Considering they had some great images of the acai bowls, I thought it would be best to promote those and have them […]
Tweaking the menu design for better readability
I revamped the menus for The Bread Basket Bakery to improve the layout and readability. They used to put them together in house, but this meant that the spacing was wrong and the elements weren’t standardised (such as type, sizes, colours and groupings). So I re-created them in Adobe Illustrator which gave them more flexibility […]
Making yoga videos stand out from the crowd
Consuelo came to me to help make her videos stand out from the crowd online, specifically looking for a set of YouTube thumbnail templates that she could edit in a number of ways herself in Canva. The goal was to get more meaningful engagement from each video by making the content of each video very […]
