About me

I have created and fuelled a passion for good design before and also during my completion of Digital Media BA(Hons), for which I gained a 2:1 grade in. I have a good grasp of HTML/CSS and I am currently re-designing my website from scratch.

During my degree I completed a number of varied but specialised assignments. This involved Visual Communications, Visual Design, User Experience, Interactive Educational Software Development, Marketing and much more. During my final major project I specialised in Motion Graphics using Adobe After Effects to animate and Adobe Illustrator to create the illustrations. I have also developed very competent skills with other applications from the Creative Suite: Photoshop, InDesign, Flash (AS3), Dreamweaver, and as previously mentioned After Effects and Illustrator.

I have exceptional people skills and don't mind throwing myself into any situation, introducing myself and getting ideas rolling whilst also having a good time with the team. I am in my element during creative conversations and feel that working as a team enables a strong idea to evolve into an excellent and successful project.

I am currently a Home Care Support worker for children with special needs/ learning difficulties. This has given me a much more relevant and applicable knowledge of user limitations and with regards to UX design; how some users interact with software differently to perhaps some others would.

Whilst I am updating my online portfolio a mini CV can be found here:
