About me

Hello! I’m Divya, a freelance purpose-driven designer like you.

Being your own boss, and the creative freedom that comes with that is THE BEST. But flying solo without a community of professional design peers to exchange ideas with, to offer friendly critique, to experiment and push your creative boundaries with, to hold you accountable to evolving best-practice, can sometimes be a challenge.

Hello! I’m Divya, a freelance purpose-driven designer like you.

Being your own boss, and the creative freedom that comes with that is THE BEST. But flying solo without a community of professional design peers to exchange ideas with, to offer friendly critique, to experiment and push your creative boundaries with, to hold you accountable to evolving best-practice, can sometimes be a challenge.

This is where I can help.

Since the last 14 years I’ve been freelancing as a creative designer for conservation and sustainable development IGOs, NGOs and charities. The fast-paced nature of disseminating project results has meant that I’ve had to figure out quick and efficient ways of generating and executing ideas that consistently deliver impact. But if I don’t regularly book in time to revisit these design processes, or re-evaluate them against the current design landscape, I take the risk that the work I produce starts looking the same. Even if I’m working with organisation brand guidelines, the way in which I articulate visual language can start feeling formulaic and repetitive.

What has helped me more than anything else, has been to find those 2 – 3 other freelance designers working in the same industry that I can have regular exchanges and brainstorms with. Getting a second pair of eyes to look at my scribbled down ideas and chat for even just 10 minutes has yielded more reward and ‘a-ha!’ moments than hours of trying to problem-solve on my own.

If you’ve experienced similar frustrations, and having a design peer to help you keep on your toes would benefit your creative practice, I’d love to hear from you.

We can work together on project-specific issues, unblock idea generation using creative exercises, research best-practice design case studies / examples, brainstorm creative approaches to live briefs, write pitches and responses to tenders together, and more.

Consistent, reliable and experienced - Divya has been a valuable guest lecturer for workshops at the London College of Contemporary Arts. Divya's background in graphic design specifically within the charities and NGO sector has been very insightful for students who often aren't as aware that this is a valuable and engaging career option and specialism. Overall, I would highly recommend Divya for workshops, longer term teaching and for executing, designing and building units/modules around careers in graphic design and particularly the charities/NGO sector.
