About me
I come from an extremely creative background, I grew up surrounded by artwork, printing, design, photography, music, teaching and even landscaping and tree surgery and I am still as creative and driven as ever. My family are a hardworking, influential little unit and this is something which I have taken with me throughout my education and journey as a creative individual.
Throughout my childhood and teen years I was an avid artist studying the subject and all that goes with it wherever and whenever possible. I began to veer towards the design side of the creative industries when the meaning behind and imagery became more important to me but even more so when said meaning became clearly influential on the audience and their perception of the work.
I am motivated and inspired by all things visual and dynamic and see myself working in the creative industries for the foreseeable future. I intend to make this happen through my love of visuals and design as well as my determined and hardworking attitude. I have worked full time alongside my degree since I started studying at the University of Kent, because of this, organisation and time management are skills which I have developed quickly and successfully.
I have worked in retail and sales since the age of 16 and feel that nearly a decade in customer facing, sales based employment and management has allowed me to develop a thorough and in-depth insight into what people look for from particular brands or products. Because I appreciate not only the outer-shell but the significance the inner workings of design I feel my analytical muscles are well flexed on a daily basis.
