About me
In July 2012 I graduated from Central Saint Martins with a 2.1 in Graphic Design. Throughout the three years of my degree I gained extensive experience interning for a number of brands whilst finding my niche as a designer through self directed and set briefs at college.
My strong interest in graphic design, fashion and imagery has compelled me to create work that makes a statement, challenges certain preconceptions or its surroundings. I love to collect imagery, objects and textiles making initial concepts into something tactile and emotionally engaging.
I am also an avid runner, reader and collector of magazines and ephemera.
