Charlie Loft - Creative Director, Yolk
Creative London Ange is fantastic to work with! I have been lucky enough to know and work with her for a number of years and on many occasions. She is a very talented and experienced Designer and Art Director.”

Ange is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is intelligent, creative and pragmatic, listens and understands the brief, and adapts herself to ensure that she delivers it. Her values align with ours, which means she’s the first person we go to when we need to create Customer Experience maps for our clients. I am reluctant to recommend her because we want to keep her all to ourselves!
