A Bit About Me
I am an experienced and award-winning graphic designer, marketing consultant and social media manager with a 1st class BA (Hons) degree from the University of Suffolk.
​
After working as a graphic designer at Colchester Zoo, my husband and I moved to the south of France in 2018 where I began working as a successful freelancer.
​
I have worked for many years with Deaf and Deafblind people, and am currently helping a Deafblind client write his autobiography.
​
I'm also a singer and musician, and have performed many times at large events and intimate venues.
