    THE BEGINNING

    Creative Ideas

    I co-founded Creative Ideas with Chetan Preet, bringing together a shared belief in thoughtful, purposeful design. What began as a creative partnership grew into a full-service studio spanning branding, packaging, print and digital. I continue to manage Creative Ideas today.

    TAKING DESIGN ONLINE

    WeareCreatives

    I launched WeareCreatives as an online design boutique and opened our Etsy shop in the same year. It made commissioning custom design more accessible: choose a service, share a brief and work with us online. I continue to manage both storefronts for customers worldwide.

THE WAY I WORK

Listen carefully.
Make with purpose.

A useful design process connects the business, the creative idea and the practical requirements of the finished work.

Start with the business

Understand what you do, who you need to reach and what the design should help them understand or do.

Keep the idea clear

Build a visual direction that can hold together across different pieces, while giving each format the attention it needs.

Make feedback useful

Review the work against the brief. Clear, consolidated feedback helps move the selected direction forward.

Think about the handover

Consider the file formats, production requirements and people who will use the artwork once the design is approved.
