I’m a freelance design director and printmaker based in Manchester. With over 15 years of experience I've worked at design agencies across London, Manchester (and a small stint in New York). Having started typegraft.co.uk I love to work on anything that involves crafting and honing my typography skills, but spend most of my time designing packaging for brands like Cadbury, Coca-Cola, Unilever and Diageo.

What is your best piece of advice for young creatives?
My best piece of advice would be something that I often say to myself when I feel an imposter syndrome crawls to my mind: Less scrolling, more drawing! (or any creating that you do) and: stop when it starts to feel forced. Breaks and rest are equally important as creating.
