Hello, I’m Kirsty, a freelance graphic designer and founder of Ashburn Design and Print Ltd, based in Darlington, North East England.
With over ten years of experience, I specialise in delivering impactful branding and creative design solutions for clients both locally and nationally.
My first class BA (Hons) in Textile Design for Fashion and Interiors gave me a broad design foundation. While I’ve always loved visual design and print, my career has naturally developed into a wide range of projects, from marketing materials to web-ready digital assets.
As a freelancer, I offer flexible, friendly, no-nonsense design support tailored to your needs. My focus is on creating thoughtful, effective design work that reflects and strengthens your unique brand.

We used Ashburn Design for our logo rebrand and can not recommend Kirsty highly enough. From our initial discussions to our finish design Kirsty fully understood what we were looking for and the branding guidelines she supplied are invaluable to making sure we use it to the best effect. Thanks Kirsty we will definitely be working with you again in the future. Many thanks Stan & Jane, Stan Seaton PhotographyGoogle rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 16 reviews
