London based designer specialising in editorial design, brand identity and print design
About me
Hi, I’m Monique a London-based creative who loves bringing ideas to life through editorial design, brand identity and print. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work with all sorts of businesses, from big household names to passionate independents, helping them find their voice and stand out in busy markets. Whether it’s shaping a brand from scratch, designing a logo, or creating print and digital assets, I get a real buzz from seeing great design make an impact.
Outside of work, you’ll usually find me deep in the world of fashion (I’ve got a soft spot for brooches and scarves - honestly, they’re like little works of art). I’m also big on food, and love recreating dishes from my favourite restaurants at home. Add a bit of badminton into the mix and you’ve got my perfect week.
My biggest passion project is Be The Other, my multi-wear accessories brand that celebrates individuality through handmade brooches and silk scarves. It’s where my love for design meets my love for self-expression, and I adore seeing people wear something that feels completely unique to them.
If you’re looking for someone who can bring fresh ideas, creativity, and a human touch to your project, I’d love to chat. Drop me a message if you're interested!
