Tin Man
Creative Designer, 2020 - 2025
As design lead, I work across new business, campaigns and internal projects, supporting the creative process from concept through to delivery. Key experience includes:
Managed TinStudio, our in-house design hub, overseeing day-to-day creative output, resourcing, budgets and timelines, while ensuring delivery across multiple disciplines.
Delivered rebrand projects for Tin Man, sister agency OhMy!, and new partnerships brand Dorothy (2025), each with their own tailored brand systems and identities.
Collaborating with strategists, creatives, senior management, social teams and external partners to develop earned-first PR campaigns, leading design responses to briefs and presenting concepts to both clients and internal teams.
Created a visual framework for all new business pitches, which supported recent wins for Cadbury Biscoff, Tesco & Dunelm.
Led digital and print OOH campaigns for Gumtree, Trainline and GU — involved in everything from concept and artwork through to social rollouts, internal comms and in-app design, as well as media buying and production conversations.
Supported junior designers with guidance and day-to-day advice, helping them progress while contributing to raising overall creative standards.
I keep up with cultural trends and design innovations through D&AD, TypoCircle, and Nice Tuesdays, while learning new tools including Figma, Framer, and AI (Midjourney). Also took part in internal inclusion and mental health initiatives.
With 7+ years of award-winning agency experience (Branding, Packaging, PR and Advertising) I'm seasoned in creating vibrant, narrative-driven designs across digital and print. Having grown in a fast-paced, ideas-led environment I take pride in creating strategically grounded, collaborative work.
I'm proficient in the Adobe CC Suite, Midjourney, Gemini, Figma, Keynote, Powerpoint and Google Slides. I come with a wealth of experience across Brand, OOH, Social, Packaging, Print, Artwork, Motion, Copywriting, Editorial & Corporate.
But who actually am I?
A big foodie born into a cheddar-making Somerset family (yes, free cheese). I'm an avid F1 fan, dog person and keen traveller. Stoke Newington is my stomping ground over and I don't shy away from a pint - first round is on me!
