I recently joined the team at insideKENT as graphic designer, contributing to editorial design. The interiors section is always my favourite to work on and I love seeing beautifully considered spaces and local stories come together on the page. I live in Whitstable and work from my garden studio, where I also design brands and websites.

As the seasons shift, my family and I spend as much time outdoors as possible. We are very lucky where we live to have woodland and beaches right on our doorstep, and Mabel, our one-year-old Golden Retriever, is just as happy in the woods as she is by the sea. This spring we are looking forward to a visit to Nethergong Camping, making the most of lighter evenings and time spent outside.

Outside of work, I try to be intentional about stepping away from the screen. I have been regularly weight training at Snap Fitness since it opened locally, which helps offset the time I spend at my desk. I also love to draw as it gives me space to be creative in a more physical, tactile way. This year I have committed to life drawing classes, which feels like a welcome counterbalance to screen-heavy days.
