About me

My love for design and creative thinking is what inspires me to keep pushing and developing my skills within the field. When establishing a career within the design industry, I will carry on developing and growing and would by no means declare myself as 'safe' and develop a lack of commitment. To succeed within a career, I think begins with a passion and dedication for the area, and motivation and persistence.

I was recently told, every year, many Universities produce new design graduates, many with the same skills and same beginnings of Cover Letters...'I am a design graduate, looking for a job...' but the one that will stand out from the hundreds, even thousands, will be the one with the passion and the drive to succeed. I am here to present that drive, the drive that makes you want to get up in the morning and think 'I can't believe I have a job I love'.

Sector Experience

Thread Creative Studios, Work Placement, I had a good interest in design from early on, when I was 17 I asked my college to organise for me a placement at a Graphic Design Studio over the half term period., The placement was to be one week as I then had to carry on with my studies at college. While there I was introduced to new software & programs and was set a task to create a logo for a 'pretend' company. This helped me in visualising a potential career for myself and I received positive feedback from my mentor.
