Based in Folkestone, I’m a multidisciplinary designer with a decade of experience navigating an industry where algorithms and trends change overnight. I’ve learned to adapt by stopping, rewinding, and deconstructing the best work out there to adopt new techniques. This analytical curiosity has made me proficient in graphic design, 3D modelling, animation, and web design. I’ve led creative projects on tight budgets and deadlines, internally or within collaborative teams, and my background as an elected Youth Officer sharpened leadership, communication, and budget management. I’m comfortable building a project from scratch or translating a brief into a clear visual story through close collaboration with architects and technical leads.
