Meet Lyn
Hi I'm Lyn Hill, a Graphic Designer living in Havant UK. I have been busy working in the design industry for the last 19 years and love experimenting with new evolving technologies and design trends. From creating brand identity to getting a design ready for print, I use my design knowledge, creativity and software skills to solve problems with digital and print graphic design.
During the last 19 years, I have been involved with many projects in print, digital, illustration and email. Have a look through my design portfolio and if there is anything I can help you with, get in touch and I will get back to you with rates and availability.
I also design my own greetings cards, mainly for friends and family but hoping to expand this soon, you can view and buy personalised designs I created for Asda Photo whilst working for Livelink Technology in Havant via the link below.

Jamie at home
From 2011 - 2012, I worked as a Web Designer for Jamie Oliver's brand Jamie at Home. Jamie is a lovely guy and has really helped British school children move away from junk food and towards healthy eating with his "Feed Me Better" campaign. This was a topic I was very interested in and studied this as a project whilst at University, whilst also working as a school dinner lady to get insights into school dinners and produced "A healthy eating reward scheme for schools" as one of my university projects.
Here is me with the man himself at a Jamie at Home event Pimm's and Pizza 2012, for which I also created the event logo which you can see along with other creative projects I was involved with.

"Since joining Jamie at Home, Lyn has undertaken many wide-ranging projects both online and offline and has really become the guardian of our visual brand. Extremely creative, she is equally able to follow a tight brief to the letter or take a vague concept and produce a range of alternative ideas for consideration. Lyn continually develops her skills and keeps up to date in terms of design developments. She is a pleasure to work with".

...and relax
When I'm not being creative, I enjoy spending time outdoors with my crazy lurcher Luna and my wonderful husband Blix either walking, cycling, snowboarding or paddle boarding and always have a camera with me to snap those precious moments. My favourite place in the world is the mountains, you can't beat fresh mountain air, peace and quiet and stunning views.
