Graphic design services with a focus on museums, heritage and visitor experience

Hi, my name is Marie and I have a passion for creating designs that help inform, interpret and engage. I'm a graphic designer with over a decade of experience. I now work on a freelance basis and I'm always excited to hear about new design projects. Whether it's marketing materials, or a whole exhibition, don't hesitate to get in touch if you have a design brief you'd like to share with me.

About

I've been lucky to work as an employee for some great design places over the years, including a busy studio, a national wildlife charity and a visitor experience design and build company. I now work as a freelancer, putting those years of experience to good use and continuing to explore the world of graphic design in all its forms!
