Whether that be a set of illustrations to make your learning materials appeal to a fidgety young crowd, a business card that begs to be picked up whilst standing in line with your brand or even an original print to shake up your office walls.<br />My work remains eye-catching and distinctive whether I have complete creative reign or I am straight-jacketed to branding guidelines... So, jump on to the virtual couch and take a peek around my portfolio and if you like what you see get in touch.</span></span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-size:130%;" ><br /><br /></span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;" >Client 'plug'...</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-size:130%;" ><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;" >I am a contemporary self-taught designer and illustrator whose clients currently include: University of Leicester (Management Centre), Creative Partnerships Sheffield, University of Sheffield, Sheffield Care Trust and the Community Media Association.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Other creature appearances...<br /></span></span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;font-size:130%;" >Collaboration enables me to give birth to unrestricted creative experiments and share them with the community (just like a fashion designer needs the catwalk!)
