Hi, my name’s Ash, and I’m a Multidisciplinary Designer with over 12 years experience delighting clients, managing projects & leading teams.
Creative Tools & Apps
+ Various Management Tools
Originally a graphic designer from East Yorkshire, England, my thirst for snow led me to travel around the world. During this time I continued to develop my creative skills by freelancing for agencies and completing projects for my own clients.
Now settled in Melbourne, Australia, my strategic creativity and technical skills allows me to successfully tell client stories, create engaging customer interactions and smooth operational processes.
“I love using a combination of design and strategic thinking to untangle tough client challenges.”

I design interfaces tailored to user expectations and client goals by using data gathered from user research. I use modern UI principles to build intuitive and visually appealing experiences.

Design Systems
The use of design systems allows me to easily plan, summarise and document assets and components for large UI and branding projects. These are built to be adaptable so can easily scale with evolving business needs. I enjoy training client teams to effectively leverage a system to keep brand consistency.

Branding
I create strong, clean logos and visual identities that encapsulate a brand’s essence and appeal to target audiences. I find new and exciting ways to push existing brand guidelines to modernise designs. Brand consistency across print and digital mediums is achieved by creating cohesive guidelines and asset packs.
