I am a graphic designer and graduate of BA Graphic Communication at the Department of Typography & Graphic Communication, University of Reading. My practice spans branding, UX/UI, editorial, information design and more, with a working style that balances bold visual expression with rigorous technical craft. I am drawn to design that solves real problems, tells a coherent story, and holds up under close scrutiny. I aim to approach every project strategically, with a clear sense of purpose from brief to final execution. I’m currently exploring where my skills can make the most meaningful contribution and I’m open to opportunities that challenge and develop my practice further.
