Graphic, Web Design & Digital Marketer

Personal summary

With over a decade of experience in the realms of graphic design and digital strategy, I have journeyed from the vibrant cityscape of Lisbon, Portugal, to the scenic landscapes of Scotland. My professional path has been marked by a diverse array of projects, each contributing to my growth and honing my expertise in branding, web design, and digital marketing. My career began with a rewarding tenure at Huffmans, where I navigated numerous challenges that significantly boosted my time management, multitasking, and client communication skills. This period of growth instilled in me a profound appreciation for precision and creativity in design. An experience in Portugal initially shook my confidence, but it also sparked a relentless pursuit of improvement. It was during a subsequent marketing role in Scotland that I truly learned the art of strategic marketing and selling, despite technological constraints. These experiences, while varied and sometimes challenging, have collectively shaped my approach to design and strategy. My professional philosophy is anchored in open and honest communication, a value solidified during my early career transitions. I believe that clarity and integrity are essential in every project, ensuring that clients are informed and involved at every stage. At VA-B, I specialise in creating vibrant and purposeful designs tailored to enhance the digital presence of small to medium-sized businesses. My approach combines a deep understanding of visual identity with strategic marketing, producing not only visually appealing but also functionally effective designs. From developing new brand identities to crafting user-friendly websites and managing digital marketing campaigns, my work is distinguished by its clarity, creativity, and commitment to precision. Clients such as Drookit Dug, The Remarkable Turtle Rum, Melt-On-HQ, Charlie’s Loft, and North Coast Plumbing & Heating have entrusted me with their branding and digital strategies, reflecting the trust and satisfaction I aim to build with each partnership. My 'why' is deeply rooted in a commitment to sincerity and going the extra mile for every client. Whether through experimenting with new tools, staying inspired by industry leaders, or continuously refining my skills, my goal is to deliver exceptional results that elevate my clients' businesses. I am passionate about helping businesses create a strong and cohesive digital presence, and I look forward to many more years of growth and collaboration in this dynamic field.
