A little bit more about me…
Hey, I’m Chloe!
I’m a Bristol based freelance Designer, Illustrator and (occasional) muralist. With over 6 years of experience as a creative, I’ve worked across brand, print, and digital projects for lots of great clients – check out my portfolio! As a freelancer, I like to work on print design, illustration and infographic projects.
My favourite kind of briefs are ones that are purpose driven and blend my love of creativity with my general passions in life. These include areas such as sustainability, science, the arts, education, health, wellbeing, nature and the environment to name a few. You can often find me outside in nature on a long walk with my sketchbook!
As a freelancer, I love to work with my own clients as well as providing a helping hand to creative agencies. I come from a design agency background and can help provide the creative support you need when things get busy.
Although being creative is (almost) my entire personality, if I’m not designing, drawing or painting, you can find me sipping hot chocolates and tasting pastries at the local coffee shop or playing a game of padel...or two!
Creative Achievements
Degree show exhibtion
Created a portfolio of work which was displayed in the Arnolfini, Bristol as part of my degree show open to the general public. My work centred around ‘Escapes from Reality.’ This had a focus on our wellbeing and our connection to nature.
Unicornfest
Designed and painted a two metre unicorn sculpture as part of an art trail around Bristol to raise money and awareness for Leukaemia Care UK. The sculpture I worked on was auctioned off in October 2023, raising money for the charity.
Student awards
Submitted a publication design in response to a brief set by the International Society of Typographic Designers called Ulysses. My submission was awarded a pass with membership for a “strong visual solution” and “highly controlled” use of typography.
Upfest Presents
Selected as an artist to take part in the live painting session for Upfest Presents on 1st June 2024. I designed and painted a 4ft board as part of the festival event which included a fun and bold symmetrical (ish!) flower design with dragonflies.
