I’m Ashley, a graphic designer and marketer with a love of the outdoors, based in Shropshire.

I enjoy design, whether it’s for print or digital. I’m slightly obsessed with photography, and all things Pantone. I’ve got one of those curious minds, I ask a lot of questions, and like to know how things work. In my spare time I can usually be spotted with my Canon 5D Mark IV; snapping photos of unsuspecting wildlife or a pretty sunset.
I studied Graphic Design at Sheffield Hallam University and have several years of experience in marketing, advertising, social media and branding with SME businesses. I love small to medium businesses, you get to make big changes and see the results of your hard work, it’s really quite rewarding.
I currently work full-time in a marketing role, on a family run flower farm, who grow their own biodegradable petal confetti (yes it’s as nice as it sounds), visit them here.
I’m not looking for new projects to take on at the moment, I simply wanted to create a space to share some knowledge, and allow myself to grow and develop. If you’re reading this, then you’ve come along for the ride (just keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times). One of my favourite phrases is, “Continual improvement is better than delayed perfection” and that’s exactly what I want this site to be about.
