Hi, I'm Ria

Designer, maker & typophile

I am a passionate Buckinghamshire-based visual storyteller with a passion for print and digital design, typography and illustration. As a practising designer with 15 years of professional experience in advertising and product design in some of London's top agencies, I am organised, flexible and able to meet deadlines in fast-paced environments.


I love the craft and attention to detail involved in researching and creating printed and digital graphic materials and ephemera from across genres and time periods.
