I specialise in creating bold, expressive, and vibrant designs that captivate and engage. As an illustrator and Art Director, my focus is on visual concepts and educational production, always with the user's experience in mind.

My work encompasses a wide range of skills, from producing illustrations and infographics to crafting motion graphics and using photography to enhance visual storytelling. I am dedicated to utilising design and educational solutions to simplify complex information and facilitate effective learning experiences.

Known as a curious problem solver, I am described by clients and colleagues as competent, and precise, with a wealth of creative ideas and inspiration. My passion lies in conceptualising visually compelling materials that prioritise an enhanced user experience, all while maintaining brand consistency and adhering to WCAG guidelines.

My approach to design is grounded in creativity and pedagogy, ensuring that each e-learning project not only meets but exceeds expectations. I am committed to staying ahead of design trends and dedicated to ensuring client satisfaction with every final deliverable.

But Why is it Called Marmalade Moon? 

It was August, I was designing a web site for myself and my digital art, but what was it going to be called? I had visited some friends in their summer cottage in the archipelago. We had been picking cherries in their garden.

Standing at a bus stop, half way back to town, waiting for my bus to arrive on a dusty road, the moon rose, behind dark pine trees. It was huge. And orange. Like marmalade. Marmalade Moon.

A Digital Romance

Founded in 1997, Marmalade Moon started off as a place for  experimenting with digital art and making our digital environments beautiful. 

Next I started designing illustrations, stickers, icons and user experiences for clients all over the world.  

Since 2013, illustrations, motion graphics and design for Learning & Development have been the primary focus of my career.

I no longer do freelance work, but do let me know if you have a full-time position that you think I’d be a good fit for.

She will bring fresh ideas to any project and delivers excellent graphics under tight deadlines
