I'm Amy. I’m a Manchester-based graphic designer and illustrator, with 20 years design industry experience. I spent 12 of those years working in-house for design and marketing agencies, before breaking loose in 2015 and setting up Amy King Creative. I’m passionate about creating clear, effective communications, across both print and digital platforms. I’ve been lucky enough to work with brands of all sizes, from giant FMCG’s like Aldi and Kellogg’s to small start-ups, and I love how freelancing allows me to do both. Between 2012 and 2015, I lived in Sydney. And as well as enjoying the copious amount of sunshine and great coffee, I was able to soak up 3 years of agency experience from an alternative perspective. I have specialist experience and skills in branding, packaging, sales promotion, events, brochure design, video asset creation and illustration. If you’re an agency, looking for an additional safe pair of hands, or have a brand that you think could do with a bit more zing, I’d love to hear from you!

    uniE621 Brand Design and Packaging for Luxury Candles & Essential Oils
    Perfect Chaos was founded by two busy Cheshire Mums. Who, between juggling their day jobs and hectic parenting schedules, also find the time to hand pour these gorgeous, 100% natural, vegan candles and essential oils. I was chuffed when the girls asked me to create a brand identity for them 4 years ago. And I’m thrilled to see the brand go from strength to strength! logo graphicdesigner designer
    uniE621 Logo Design for Publishers
    Logo design for a specialist publishing company. 2nd Generation Publishing tell the stories of second generation immigrants, including decedents of the Holocaust survivors and the Windrush generation.
    uniE621 Coffee Shop Brand Refresh
    Brew + Tucker are an independent coffee shop in Frodsham. Having worked with them on their original branding, they tasked me with refreshing their communications, both in-store and online. In homage to their Aussie values, I created graphics and a colour palette inspired by Australian Indigenous art. Providing them with a library of shapes, meant my client could build and create unlimited designs for use across print and digital communications. Maximising the results, within a limited budget and time frame. branding graphicdesigner
