I create clear, thoughtful visual design that helps brands communicate with confidence. With over fifteen years’ experience working across identity design, websites, and digital content, I bring structure, creativity and calm direction to every project. I work closely with clients to understand their needs, translate ideas into strong visual concepts, and deliver polished, user-friendly assets across print and digital. I’m steady under pressure, organised in my workflows, and at my best when I’m shaping a cohesive brand experience from the first conversation to final delivery.

Hi, I'm Steph. A multi-disciplinary designer based in Leicestershire, UK.
