About me

Over the past years, I have worked alongside the design industry, from working with design studios such as RG/A London collaborating with a live brief for McDonalds to TimeInc, UK's largest branded media company working on live editorial spreads across 3 different brands. I have comprehended how companies ensure that guidelines are kept however the imagination for design isn't limited. I enjoy new experiences and challenges and I am constantly looking for new adventures and ways in which I can explore the graphic design field but taking new perspectives.

I am constantly looking at self improving. Whether through the improvement of technical skills; engaging in new mediums of creating a visual piece, being proactive in design specific sites such as: ItsNiceThat , CreativeBloq or being frequently up to date with subscriptions of Creative Review and Slanted. I enjoy looking for not only inspiration but also keeping up to date with what exactly industry are utilising to ensure that I am confident that whatever situation I am placed in, I can be proficient at solving problems visually utilising my knowledge.

I enjoy being involved with the whole process of a project, from the ideation and concept development to user testing and finalisation. I feel that it is important to be part of the journey so that you understand the route the project has went through, allowing fellow designers to spot and highlight potential solutions for current problems through the incomplete discarded ideas of the past. I in particularly enjoy taking information that seems rather complicated and develop it in a way in which a complicated data set can be organised in a way that not only provides value from the values itself but also benefits the user in the production of how the information is showcased.

I would love to have the opportunity to bring my knowledge and accolade of skills to the team. Thank you for overlooking my application and hope to hear from you soon!

Many thanks
