I’m a professional graphic designer based in Romsey with a wide selection of my own clients. I also partner with other talented designers, copywriters, and agencies on freelance graphic design projects. I’m consumed by the creative lifestyle and crafting beautiful and innovative designs focused on clear messaging and positive customer experiences and feedback. I also work with existing brand guidelines and evolve/build on this through their projects.I produce eye-catching designs for marketing material to successfully promote businesses. A strong corporate identity is key and I love developing this with clients, either from scratch or within the framework of existing corporate identity guidelines of an established brand.
I am highly proficient in the Adobe Suite and experienced in branding, identity, brochure design, editorial design, large format for exhibitions, and all areas of print design from brochures to packaging design. I can manage the whole process from initial briefing to delivery of your final product.
With over 20 years of experience working in design and production, I have extensive knowledge of the design and print industry, enabling me to recommend the most cost-effective solution for each project.
By understanding my clients’ objectives I work, in partnership with them, to deliver innovative designs at value for money prices. An initial face-to-face approach benefits both the client and myself, enabling us to work together to produce the best and most successful solution to suit their personal needs.
I am reliable, trustworthy, and deliver high-quality work on time and within budget.
I work/have worked with a multitude of B2B and B2C organisations of varying sizes with different target audiences such as Brakspear, Ideal Collection, Bacardi Brown-Forman Brands, Tesco, Southern Comfort, The University of Winchester, Southampton City Council, The Education Foundation, Rekan and more.
I’m always keen to hear from companies or agencies requiring creative support, so please feel free to get in touch.

Are you a start-up looking for help designing your logo and brand? Are you an existing business looking for a graphic designer to smash a brand refresh? Do you need an experienced graphic designer to brainstorm with and turn your thoughts and ideas into visual content using a strong injection of your company values?
As a graphic designer, I work in all areas that require design. Naturally, you will question if I'm a good match for you and your project. I've been told that I adapt my style well to different types of projects. I will create a look and feel for your project to achieve the outcome you're looking for.
Graphic design uses visual compositions to solve problems and communicate ideas through typography, imagery, colour and form. There's no one way to do that, and that's why there are several types of graphic design of which I will explain here on my services page. To name a few, I create postcards, flyers, magazines, newspaper ads, posters, banners, billboards, infographics, brochures (print and digital), vehicle wraps, signage and exhibition displays, email marketing templates, PowerPoint presentations, menus (coming out of my ears!), social media ads, banners, graphics and images for websites and blogs.
Below is a selection of testimonials from my clients giving you an idea of what it's like to have me as part of your team. I can honestly say working with Ali is an absolute joy. She is not only extremely talented but she is also a wonderfully creative and kind person that will do everything she can to meet her clients' vision and work collaboratively to achieve this.

Can't praise Bongo Creative highly enough. Have utilised for several projects over the years for different companies and Ali has always delivered - detail oriented, meticulous and creative, she spends the necessary time listening to what you want and the results have always exceeded expectations. Genuinely a pleasure to work with!

I can honestly say working with Ali is an absolute joy. She is not only extremely talented but she is also a wonderfully creative and kind person that will do everything she can to meet her clients’ vision and work collaboratively to achieve this. Her ability to understand, adapt and evolve briefs with regular communication throughout the process is one of the many reasons we love working with Ali.
She has produced some fantastic work for us over the years, and continues to do so, consistently showing she knows our brand inside out – something that we believe is key when you’re trying to develop an online and offline presence through marketing assets. If you’re looking for someone who will bring your vision to life and then take it to the next level, you’ve come to the right place.

I can not recommend Ali highly enough. She has provided some great work for me from designing logos to leaflets. Also has been professional throughout and has come up with some great ideas for both logos and leaflets with the very little information we could provide. You will not be disappointed choosing Bongo Creative for any of your design needs.

I have worked with Ali on several occasions on various creative projects and I have to say that she is a dream to work with. Ali’s creativity is second to none and her professionalism makes working with her so easy. Taking the time to listen to my requirements, offering suggestions and alternatives but ultimately delivering great work on time. Ali is great at thinking outside the box and will always offer suggestions I may not have thought of, suggestions that she knows have worked well for other clients. It’s great to have food for thought and the opportunity to bounce ideas around which I have found to be very rare with other creative agencies I have worked with. Ali is creative, professional and a stickler for only delivering great quality work!

Ali and Bongo Creative have provided us continued support on numerous creative briefs over the last couple of years. Ali’s key strengths are the ability adapt to any clients needs, delivering fresh, relevant design, whatever the audience. Ali has great interpersonal skills (she’ll make friends with anyone) and adapts well when dealing with us or direct with our clients. Would I recommend her? Absolutely.

I have recommended Ali many times and will continue to do so. When I first saw Ali’s portfolio of work, I remarked that it could have been put together by half a dozen different designers. Ali doesn’t have one particular style; her style arises out of the detailed discussions she has with each client. For me, Ali captured beautifully what I was about and what my business was about in a way that I could never have achieved alone.
Our discussions were always easy; she would listen, counsel and guide but never dictate. The result has been a creative, ‘joined-up’ output that oozes quality and together creates a brand awareness across a number of different products. Ali is the consummate professional, committed to producing high quality design with an amazingly affable service. If you care about the image your business portrays, then you could do worse than get in touch with Bongo Creative! Thanks Ali!

Ali has produced some fantastic work for us, never faltering under time pressure we have applied. She makes a conscious effort to understand the businesses she is representing, creating appropriate yet innovative designs that more than suit all requirements. Ali came to us by recommendation, and I wouldn’t hesitate to further recommend her services. Top notch!
