About me

Having studied Fine Art & Design at university I have always had an appreciation of visual design. This culminated in my completion of a full time graphic design course at Shillington College earlier this year. I have always been designing or making things and have created two businesses - the first of which led to my current work as a web designer, specifically using Drupal.

I am now seeking employment as a junior designer in a creative studio or company where I can apply my energy to producing high quality graphic design and working as a member of a larger team. Whilst my principal role has been as a designer, running a business has required me to wear many hats and I am happy to muck in and contribute to the business however I can.
