I'm Nicki O'Donoghue, a multidisciplinary graphic designer based in Manchester with over 10 years' experience creating engaging design across branding, digital and print.

I've worked in agency environments including Music and Dinosaur, and as a freelance designer, giving me a broad perspective on how design works across different contexts. I've worked with clients including The Christie, British Fashion Council, Deloitte, Manchester City Football Club, The Gym Group and Manchester Metropolitan University. I'm experienced in taking briefs from concept through to delivery, working within strict brand guidelines (including NHS and charity standards), and collaborating with marketing teams, senior creatives and diverse stakeholders.

I specialise in translating complex information into accessible, compassionate design. I've created patient-facing materials for healthcare clients, built websites for publishing networks, and developed brand identities for growing businesses.
