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!
