I am a graduate of Newcastle College in Illustration with a strong foundation in digital design and IT. I recently completed a digital training bootcamp and then started a placement in an IT department where I now volunteer. I have also completed a paid graphic designer internship with Armstrong Services Ltd, creating logos, banners, and posters for commercial use. As a founding member of Neurodev, a Gateshead Community Organisation project, I have helped develop digital solutions such as websites and games, focusing on products that help others. I am skilled in Clip Studio Paint, Adobe Photoshop, and Illustrator, and I am eager to apply my creative and technical abilities in a challenging, dynamic environment where I can make a meaningful impact.
