About

I am a motivated, enthusiastic and hardworking 21 year old, in my last semester studying a BA (hons) in Graphic design at The University of Wolverhampton. I am looking for Graphic Design opportunities that can be work from home and freelance if required, where I can develop on the skills I have learnt at College and University. I have won a StarPack student award for packaging and have been shortlisted for 3 university live briefs so far. I have completed an 11 day work placement at an animation company and recently completed my first private commission.

I am very confident in the use of Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, Photoshop, After Effects and have basic working knowledge of Figma. I am used to completing life briefs, including pitching my ideas and taking on feedback. I am available to start work following the completion of my university course at the start of June 2026 for full time work, or earlier for freelance work or work from home opportunities.
