About me
I am a Designer with a capacity for lateral thinking and a passion for Art, Form and Image as a means of communication. I love the design process and enjoy proceeding with curiosity and experimental thinking. Currently, I am the in-house designer for DSDHA, an architectural firm in Vauxhall. Position as their Graphic Designer.
Working as the go-to designer at an architecture firm has been a very educational and enjoyable experience. It has led me to my interest in instillation design, retail displays and the art of virtual merchandising with my introduction to the world of architecture. The ability for inventive freedom, storytelling and creating an emotional connection with the viewer through displays is what excites me. The process of watching a vision on paper come to life is what inspires me. I find I flourish working within a design team where concepts and ideas bounce off each other.
In June of this year, I graduated from Arts University Bournemouth with a First-Class Honours Degree in Graphic Design. Prior to this I studied at the University for the Creative Arts, gaining a merit in an Art and Design Diploma. I have always had an interest in Art & Design, and I am exceptionally skilled working with Adobe programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I have worked with large format vinyl prints when helping design the walls for our graduation show. I have experience with video editing software such as Premier Pro and After Effects and introduced myself to 3D programs such as Sketchup. I also have been entrusted with redesigning the brand guidelines and specifications at my current practice.
