While I’ve mostly been at my desk, the work has been doing a little travelling of its own. A few corners of the world where NUVIO has left its little mark.

What sets me apart
I’m not just here to make things look good, I design with intent. From crafting playful packaging to building bold brand identities, I focus on visuals that connect, communicate, and cut through the noise. With experience both inside fast-paced agencies and as an independent designer, I bring the best of both worlds: big-picture thinking and hands-on craft. Every project I take on is built with care, backed by strategy, and always a little bit unexpected.
Branding That Tells a Story
Every brand has a voice my job is to help express it. From naming and visual identity to packaging and tone, I shape branding systems that not only look good but feel intentional and aligned with a brand’s purpose.
Design Grounded in Behavior
With a background in visual merchandising and human-centered design, I approach every project with empathy. I consider how people see, feel, and engage with design, blending psychology and aesthetics to drive deeper connection.
Client-Centric Approach
I make it my job to listen first. My process is collaborative, flexible, and shaped by your goals. Whether you're launching a bold new product or refining an existing identity, I design with your audience, vision, and vibe at the core. No templates. No one-size-fits-all.
Tools & Skills
Comfortable with tools like Adobe Creative Suite, Figma, Notion, Miro, and AI-powered creative tools. I use AI for research, ideation, content creation, and workflow optimization. I bring a balanced mix of design, collaboration, and communication skills. From wireframes to visual content, I focus on getting the work done thoughtfully and efficiently.
Now Booking for October!
Packaging Design
Packaging is often the first interaction someone has with a product. I design packaging that is distinctive, practical, on-brand, and ready for the market from concept and visual direction to typography, layout, materials, and final artwork. Whether it’s skincare, food, beverage, wellness, or FMCG, I create packaging that looks good, communicates clearly, and works as part of a wider brand system.
Brand Identity
I create visual identities that give brands a clear and distinctive presence from logos and typography to colour, graphic elements, and visual systems. The focus is on building identities that work beautifully across packaging, print, and everyday brand touchpoints.
Print & Marketing Collateral
From brochures and catalogues to menus, stationery, campaign materials, and other printed touchpoints, I create print design that feels considered, cohesive, and unmistakably on-brand. Every piece is designed to work alongside the brand and communicate clearly in the real world.
Creative Design Collaboration
Need an extra design hand on a project? I collaborate with creative studios, branding agencies, and in-house teams on packaging, brand identity, and print design projects. I can step in at different stages from developing concepts and visual systems to artwork and production-ready files, working as an extension of your team.

![A little more NOM-NOMZ because apparently one post wasn’t enough. 🍔
This project was about taking a playful fast-food brand and making that personality show up everywhere from takeaway boxes and cups to menus, food packaging and the little brand moments in between.
Basically: if you’re going to make people hungry, the packaging should join in too. 🍟

![One skincare brand. Multiple products. One visual system.
Sadie Skin explores how a skincare identity can stretch across topical skincare, edible beauty and future product extensions without losing its recognisability.
I developed the brand identity and packaging system around colour, typography and simple visual cues giving each product its own personality while keeping the range connected.
The system was then explored across retail packaging, e-commerce, product visuals and seasonal campaign concepts to see how the brand could work beyond the pack.
A packaging system should do more than make individual products look good.
It should make the whole brand easier to recognise.
