About me
Hi I'm Freddie, a Dorset-based illustrator and gardener. I have worked as a graphic designer in Amsterdam and London since 2017, gaining experience in advertising, tv, and ultimately garden design. I then left London for my home county of Dorset to pursue a gardening career and set up a freelance graphic design studio.
With my partner LĂ©na, I also run a small seaweed business based in Bridport. We wild harvest seaweed to make cosmetic & food products.
If you have a garden that needs tending, or a book that requires a cover, feel free to get in touch via email or phone đź‘‹
All in the details
A little more personal
I am quite rubbish at marketing myself to the world. However, in an ever-increasing age where sound-bites of information are released into the digi-ether, I will release my own 32bits of context.
Favourite 4 films
If I had to choose (currently), I would settle with: Les Choristes (2004), Days of Heaven (1978), Our Little Sister (2015), Drunken Master (1978) .
I like hiking
Over hills, mountains, through hangovers, to pubs again, within the dreamworld.
Historical fiction &Â fantasy
two of my favourite genres. I can quite happily sit and read my way through allocated time to do other jobs when I'm gripped by a good page turner.
What made me become a gardener?
I like Autumn and if I can work with the trees and listen to their wise creaks, I'll be happy enough. It was also a good antidote to working behind a screen each day during my time as a graphic designer. If I can, I like to straddle both these relative worlds.
