About
Hi, I’m Sophie, a freelance graphic designer and illustrator based in Luton.
With over a decade of experience, I specialise in crafting compelling visuals for charities and the publicly funded culture sector, from impactful brand identities to engaging promotional materials.
For bigger projects, I also collaborate with trusted partners who specialise in areas such as film, photography, and motion graphics.
I began my career as an in-house graphic designer for A Thin Place and Clearhead, where I honed my skills in project management and design execution. I transitioned to full-time freelancing in 2018, which has allowed me to work closely with clients who share my vision for positive change.
I take pride in delivering top-notch work that consistently exceeds client expectations, and I love bringing people’s ideas to life.
“Sophie was brilliant in designing a set of postcards for us - super easy to work with and great communication.”
- Charles Merritt, Creative Content Developer, Youthscape
“From start to finish Sophie was brilliant. Really creative designs, super responsive to feedback and really good at communicating. She worked tirelessly for us at short notice to deliver a whole brand concept, poster & flyer & vinyl design as well as creating stunning artists boards for our open house event and pop up performance shop in Luton. It was great to link up with a local designer for the project. She also suggested local printers who she communicated with on our behalf which made my job much easier and they delivered top quality prints. We would highly recommend her.”
- Sara Templeman, Social Media & Communications Manager, Tangled Feet
“Sophie is a fantastic designer and she has been an absolute delight to work with! She has been very patient and helpful throughout the process, she understood exactly what we were looking for and her design propositions were always on point. We really love the end result, I highly recommend her!”
- Lesly Lila, Campaigns Manager, Praxis for Migrants and Refugees
“Sophie is not only a talent but she is an absolute pleasure to work with. Every aspect of Sophie's work from planning through to delivery could not have been easier. We will always use Sophie to design our marketing images, branding and logos because quite frankly we have no need to go elsewhere when we are getting value, quality, ease and most importantly a lovely person to work with. Thank you Sophie from the NGYT Family x You are world class!”
- David Lloyd, Founder, NGYT
“Sophie worked with us over a number of months and I couldn’t recommend her enough. We started with the branding for the project and worked right through a range of promotional materials, graphics for films and celebration/evaluation publications. The project evolved as we moved along, with a number of client voices needing to be accommodated. Sophie was exceptionally pleasant to work with, even when the brief evolved. The brand has become very well known across the town and is well-loved. Highly recommend working with this exceptional designer.”
- Michaela Nutt, Cultural Enabler, Luton Borough Council
“Sophie has done a fantastic job. She listened to my vague descriptions of what I wanted and turned it into art. Sophie is extremely talented and I couldn't be happier with the design solution she provided me with.”
- Greta Zabulyte, Freelance Filmmaker
“I worked on a freelance basis with the UK Centre for Carnival Arts to project manage all the marketing of the 2019 Luton Carnival. I commissioned Sophie to produce all our graphics - from outdoor displays to printed leaflets. It was a pleasure to work with Sophie. I particularly like her approach - she listens but makes great suggestions. She was very patient with us, as there were quite a few changes for each item, and had some really creative ideas which helped evolve the finished designs beyond what we could have hoped for at briefing stage. I will definitely work with Sophie again and would highly recommend.”
- Annika Williams, Marketing Freelancer, UKCCA
“Sophie worked incredibly hard under a tight deadline. Her level of detail and beautifully simple illustration style are what make the final product so incredibly unique. She not only took on board my original design ideas and inspiration, but really developed them to make them work for the concept as a whole. Overall I thoroughly enjoyed working with Sophie on this project and was very pleased with the final outcome. I hope to work with her again in the future.”
- Jessica Whittaker, Website Manager, Youthscape
