I am a graphic designer with over 20 years’ experience working with individual creatives, small businesses and local organisations, to help them realise their potential and grow their business. As well as designing for print and web - logos, brochures, books, packaging, websites etc. - I can provide a completely bespoke branding package and/or marketing strategy, providing the tools and know-how required to focus on what's important and grow over time.

Over the years I have also worked with various with community groups, museums and charities, consulting on marketing and sustainability strategies, doing talks and hosting creative workshops, or facilitating projects that enable and encourage people to try something new and unleash a bit of creativity of their own.

I have recently moved in to a studio at Stapleford Granary where I teach painting workshops and continue to produce vibrant landscapes and still life, which are available on my website or direct from my studio.

If you would like to discuss any of the aspects of what I do and how I can help you please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to working with you! Karen x
