ABOUT

 

I’ve had a mountainous passion for design my whole life. I am a extensive visual thinker, a very creative person, good eye for detail also very hard working.

​

I chose to be a Graphic designer,  to express my creativity every day. Picking colour palettes, choosing imagery, creating typefaces, thinking 'outside the box’ and just having the power to change the world we live in for the better. When you see your work evolve from a simple sketch,

and watch it turn into something amazing. It’s the opportunity to bring your work to life.

​

Every piece of design must start from a great idea and a great question. This exploration and development continues to be an enjoyable learning experience, where I have produced grid systems for printed media, developed a typeface, produced visuals.

​

Experimenting with new techniques and media allows me to create abstract and organic work, however I enjoy the challenge of working to a tight brief. I believe the ability to work collectively as a group in the creative sector is incredibly important, and can be a great way to bounce ideas around and support one another.

​

Producing tactile objects also interests me; it is very rewarding to have something to hold at the end of a project and, with the digital world growing, the ability to interact with a piece of design work is a great feeling.
