Overview

Visual work across many clients.

As a freelance designer, I create engaging visual assets for small businesses, local events, and special occasions. The work spans posters, invitations, save-the-date cards, branding, and promotional graphics across print and digital.

Every brief is different. Some come from event organisers needing a poster in 48 hours. Others come from couples wanting wedding stationery that feels like them. Each one is a chance to read the room quickly and translate someone’s energy into a piece of design.

Freelance graphic design means reading the room quickly — understanding a client’s audience, energy, and purpose without a long discovery process.
Project Types

What I’ve made.

01

Wedding stationery

Save-the-dates, invitations, RSVP cards, table settings. Couples come in with a feeling more than a brief — my job is to translate that feeling into a coherent visual language across every piece.

02

Live music & event posters

Posters and flyers for live music nights, parties, and community events. Bold typography, strong colour, and a clear hierarchy so the date, venue, and lineup all land at a glance.

03

Restaurant promos

Menu inserts, social media graphics, seasonal promotions and grand-opening collateral for local restaurants. The work has to feel appetising — never cheap.

04

Café branding

Logo, menus, signage, packaging stickers. Small-scale brand identity work for independent cafés and coffee shops.

05

Social media graphics

Templates, story sets, post series for small businesses. Designed to feel coherent across an Instagram grid without looking like every other small business out there.

Approach

Every client is different.

Freelance work has taught me to ask the right questions fast. Who’s this for? What do you want them to feel? What absolutely cannot be missed? My illustration background helps here — I’m always thinking about composition and feeling before I open the file.

Each piece gets delivered print-ready and optimised for digital — the right resolution, the right colour space, the right format for where it’s actually going to live. Nothing kills a good design like an exported file that doesn’t print well.

Takeaway

What freelance has taught me.

The breadth of freelance work has made me faster, more flexible, and more confident reading briefs. A wedding invitation, a club poster, and a restaurant menu all teach you something different about how design lives in the world — on a fridge, on a streetlamp, on a table at dinner.

Good design starts with respect for where it’s going to live.
