Visual art and design have shaped my professional journey. Following a BA (Hons) in Design & Visual Communication, I gained extensive industry experience working with leading agencies in London and Cape Town. During this time, I had the opportunity to collaborate with globally recognised brands, fashion designers, and international organisations, which helped broaden my perspective and expand my creative expertise.

My journey took me to South Africa, where I worked as a graphic designer and art director in the vibrant city of Cape Town, eventually establishing my own design studio in 2006.

After spending over 20 years in Cape Town, I felt the pull to return to my roots, this time bringing my business back to the UK. I’m loving being home, although I’ll always miss the Southern Hemisphere sun. Thanks to the flexibility of working from my studio and remotely, I continue to collaborate with clients from all over the world.

Branding and packaging design have been at the heart of my career. I love helping businesses communicate their unique story through thoughtful, visually engaging design. I’m particularly drawn to incorporating hand-drawn elements where they can bring warmth, character, and authenticity to a brand’s identity. My focus is not only on creating work that is beautiful and strategic, but on developing meaningful design solutions with depth and intention – crafted to stand the test of time.

At Ima Studio Design, we specialise in creating brand identities and packaging that truly reflect who our clients are and what they stand for. Through storytelling, we aim to build deeper connections between brands and their audiences, building meaningful relationships that last.

I feel incredibly fortunate to work with such a diverse range of businesses and individuals, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to do work that I find both creatively fulfilling and impactful while collaborating with people from around the world.
