I do not believe in a ‘one size fits all’ approach – I take time to get to know your brand and work closely with you through the design process.
I make the digital space less daunting. I take your content then unravel and sort it into easy-to-use, appealing digital and print design solutions. I work closely with you to get your key messaging across simply and beautifully and create services and products which make you feel proud and which your customers enjoy using.
Whether you are a new or established business, I am able to help you with everything from logos and the feel of your brand to getting you a lovely website set up and designing any print materials you may need such as leaflets and posters.
I also really enjoy working with design and marketing agencies so if you need an extra pair of hands, let me know!
Want to know more about how I can help you?
With well over 2 decades worth of experience plus a first class Interactive Design degree, you are in safe hands. I will create you something we are both proud of, which works for your target audience.
I have oodles of experience in the Adobe suite plus other applications such as Figma.
Whether you are a design or development agency needing extra design support or a sole trader needing more business, I can help you.
Your customer is always at the forefront of my mind. With design experience across many platforms I have a wealth of knowledge which I can apply to any project.

Testimonials
What my happy clients have to say about me.
“I can highly recommend Lucy. Lucy has done fantastic work for Youwe on a freelance basis. Lucy's work is of a very high quality and the work is always done on time. Lucy has designed infographics, emails, and social campaigns for our clients.”
Steve Hoyle - Head of Operations (UK) and Partner at YouweFreelance Digital Designer - infographics, email designs, and social media graphics
“I worked with Lucy for approaching two years in my capacity as Senior Marketing Manager with Visit York.
During that time we worked together on many and various projects, from annual and seasonal printed guides to digital assets and 48 sheet outdoor posters.
I found Lucy to be extremely personable, very easy to work with and the quality of her work was always exemplary.
Highly recommend!”
Ashley Young - Communications Manager at Make It YorkFreelance Graphic Designer for Make It York / Visit York
“Creative. Brilliant. Recommended.
Lucy designed a new logo and strap-line for my Sales Marvel business and working with her was a breeze.Lucy nailed the (rather woolly) initial brief and gently surfaced my actual priorities for the design, learning about my business and, as importantly, my target audience. She was creative and thought of a number of issues I hadn't before considered.
Interacting with Lucy was easy and "low friction" too. I didn't feel rushed, which I have before as I struggle a bit with my mental health from time to time. Lucy was patient and professional throughout.
I would definitely recommend Lucy for any creative or graphic design needs your business may require.
Thanks, Lucy!”

Looking to hire a designer or need extra design help?
I can be the design support you need.
Maybe you are a busy design agency and are looking for a new senior or lead designer or maybe you need some ad-hoc design work, for instance when your designer is busy or on holiday? I work with several agencies as and when they need me. No need to be local to York – I work well remotely and love working across different projects.
I am also open to permanent remote roles – so get in touch if you think my design skills would suit what you’re looking for.
