Graphic designer with industry experience focused on leading graphic direction across branding, sportswear and apparel graphics. My background blends sport and design, informing a considered, concept-driven approach to visual storytelling. Through self-initiated projects, I developed a graphic style that initially led to freelance projects involving a crest redesign for St Andrews United FC and then joining SQUATWOLF full-time in Dubai, where I spent two years shaping the graphic identity of the brand across multiple gym wear collections. Working within fast-paced creative environments strengthened a broad, transferable skill set that translates across wider areas of graphic design, which I am now eager to continue developing and improving.
