About

I am a Graphic Design graduate who has an experimental, hands-on approach to design. I really thrive working with briefs that allow me to design in experimental ways as I find this produces to most vibrant, unique results. Working in this way has developed my skills in Adobe Creative Suite, as I like to utilise multiple applications per project.

I have experience working across other creative fields such as Fashion Marketing, Music Promotion and Art Direction which has broadened my understanding of how Graphic Design can lend itself to each of these areas.

A particular area I am very passionate is youth culture and have delved into this topic throughout a lot of my projects which I find has given me a wider perspective of how design is evolving.
