About Jade
I’m a multidisciplinary designer working at the intersection of brand, digital, motion, marketing and emerging technology.
The story so far
London, UK
Multidisciplinary designer
8+ years’ experience
Across in-house and freelance environments, I’ve worked on brand campaigns, paid social, product design, editorial, events, video, animation and financial reporting — always looking for the clearest, most engaging and commercially effective way to tell the story.
I currently work in fintech, bringing creative ideas to life across the brand and marketing ecosystem. I enjoy the space where good design meets performance: work that has a purpose, communicates clearly and drives action.
My toolkit goes beyond traditional graphic design: Adobe Creative Suite, Procreate, motion and video, alongside an expanding practice in AI, HTML and creative technology. I use these tools to build, prototype and experiment with new ways of working.
I’m especially interested in how AI can enhance rather than replace creativity — speeding up the boring bits, opening up possibilities and giving designers more room to think, experiment and make.
I’m curious, commercially minded and happiest with a problem rather than a brief. Whether I’m evolving a brand, simplifying a financial product, building a campaign or animating an idea, I’m looking for the smarter, more interesting way to communicate it.
