Hello, I'm Sydney
I’m a graphic designer, passionate about bringing ideas to life. With over 8 years experience in studios and freelancing, I’ve gained extensive expertise in various areas of graphic design, from rebrands and animations to live events and social media management.
Beyond the design world, I’m a mother of two little ones and when I’m not running around after them, I love being outdoors, enjoying music, following Formula 1 and indulging in gaming and puzzles. These interests fuel my creativity and bring a unique perspective to my design work.
My commitment to delivering exceptional results is unwavering. I bring a blend of creativity, technical proficiency, and attention to detail to every project. As a designer and a storyteller, I look forward to contributing my skills to innovative projects and challenging creative boundaries.

Testimonials
With nearly four years of experience as a freelancer, I've had the privilege of collaborating with a diverse range of companies and remarkable individuals. Instead of me singing my own praises, why not let them speak for themselves? Here are a few of my most cherished reviews:
Alli Goodchild – Cambridge Healthcare Research (CHR)
"Sydney is a star at what she does. She takes a vague idea and makes it a reality, her work is always of a high quality and her personality and ability to work alongside anyone within the business and her professionalism is amazing. You will be in safe hands with Sydney no matter what the request and scope of works."

"Sydney did an incredible job with our company rebrand.
