Work with me

Hi, I’m Nicole and I’m a freelance designer based in Cardiff in South Wales (UK). I have 20 years experience working for a variety of product based businesses including industries in automotive, dairy, music, and furniture plus events and charities. I’m an experienced designer in print and digital and I have also worked on many e-commerce website projects built in WordPress, Shopify and custom CMS builds.

As a freelancer I have the flexibility to jump into projects that have just started or need an extra pair of hands to reach their deadlines. I pride myself on being reliable and organised and my remote status means I can work all around the world. (My most recent contract was spread across London, Portugal and the USA!)

Whether you need assistance in completing a project or fresh ideas for a new one, I am available for freelance or contract work. Let’s collaborate and bring your vision to life!

Let’s Talk

What I can help with

Logo Design

Designing logos and visual identities for product-based businesses is my primary service. My most recent projects include the logo for a news website and a revamp of The UK Drum Show.

Websites

I’ve worked in WordPress, WIX, SquareSpace, Shopify and custom built CMS driven websites including eCommerce and interactive educational sites. I can build sites for small businesses or help organise large scale content migrations.

Print

Having worked in advertising and as an in-house designer for B2B businesses, I have worked on a huge number of print projects from magazine advert design to printed literature. I have even designed the livery for a 40ft truck!

Packaging

From organic egg box design to an entire warehouse of auto parts packaging, I can design a box, bag or even a shipper to fit your business needs.

Pattern Design

I’ve developed a love for pattern design in such a way that I now include it as part of my logo design packages. Having a pattern is so versatile for your business. They can be digital wallpapers, wrapping paper, packaging and fabrics!

Events & Merchandise

Whether your event is a pop-up at a festival or hosted at an arena, I can design the materials you need to help your event run smoothly. From T-shirt merchandise to arena services displays and presentation slides.

Testimonials

Nicole was an extremely valuable member of our team. She set the standards and process for the content migration project and onboarded new team members as necessary. She was meticulous in her approach to the work and was extremely clear in communicating her progress and any risks or issues she faced. She was confident speaking directly to the client product owner and built strong relationships with all team members. I would definitely work with Nicole again.

Sage Williams | HMSD

Our company has worked with Nicole on a number of food packaging designs and marketing materials. Nicole’s attention to detail is second to none. She has also been very effective in project managing third parties such as illustrators and printing companies. Nicole has followed a number of packaging projects through from conception to completion and the high quality of the design work has helped ensure supermarket listings. As a bonus it’s always a joy to work with someone with such a great personality!

David Cooknell | Farmhouse Freedom Eggs

Nicole has been a great asset to our business offering a wide range of skills from website construction, design and planning, along with solving a variety of technical issues we may have encountered over the years. Beyond her skill sets Nicole has been 100% reliable with excellent communication and understanding of our business, often highlighting things that may need attention or matters to focus on to ensure elements of our business run smoothly.

Nicole has the ability to work from a brief, however, as she has come to know our business, her understanding and interest of what we do has become very second nature often using her own initiative as she has become familiar with our requirements. For any business that is looking to use Nicole’s design and marketing services, we would highly recommend her and will continue to use her in our future business plans going forward.

Neil Golding | Gold Media & Events

I wholeheartedly recommend Nicole for any professional opportunities. Having had the pleasure of working closely with Nicole, I can confidently attest to her expertise and dedication. Whilst working with Nicole she consistently demonstrated a strong work ethic, attention to detail, and a commitment to achieving outstanding results in every project she undertook. Her ability to think strategically and creatively, combined with her excellent communication and collaboration skills, made her an invaluable asset to the Bearmach team.

Moreover, Nicole is not only highly knowledgeable in her field but also continuously seeks opportunities for growth and learning. There was a time when we were both struggling with software and Nicole got stuck in without hesitation. She is also a kind, happy and fun-loving person who is always smiling!

Kiran Patel | Enchant

After our first meeting to discuss the design brief and the overall feel of our new web site, Nicole wasted no time in coming up with a clear and accurate plan of execution, including different price options to suit our budget. The end product was exactly what we wanted, and the communication with her throughout was concise. She is able to both guide and listen to feedback in order to create a fantastic looking brand. She provided us with a new website and matching van graphics for the fleet. Thank you Nicole.
