About Me

Behind the scenes

I'm Jack, a professional photographer, creative marketing specialist, and digital designer based in Carlisle, Cumbria.

With over a decade of experience across the creative arts and marketing industries, I offer a multi-disciplinary service that combines technical expertise with artistic flair. My work spans photography, graphic design, web development, and copywriting — all delivered with a strong focus on storytelling and meaningful visual communication.

I believe that every project, whether it's a photograph, a website, or a brand identity, has a unique story to tell. Drawing on my background in the arts and my passion for creative expression, I help individuals, businesses, and organisations communicate their message with authenticity and impact.

My diverse portfolio showcases my ability to deliver across a range of sectors. I have had the privilege of working with esteemed organisations including Cumbria Education Trust; leading hospitality and retail businesses such as The Fleece at Ruleholme, Great Corby Brewhouse, and LiveCoco; and inspiring not-for-profit organisations like WordForWord Arts CIC.

Whether you need striking photography, compelling copy, a captivating brand identity, or a modern, responsive website, I pride myself on understanding the distinct challenges and aspirations of each client. By combining creativity with strategic insight, I help businesses and organisations of all sizes achieve tangible results and stand out in today's competitive landscape.
