About me

Hi, I'm Kris an enthusiast in most things involving being creative that I can get my hands onto. I studied Graphic Design at Lincoln University and once graduated I decided to take a gap year off to Australia, only for that gap year to become almost 7 years and living in Toronto, Canada for 5 of those. Once I returned to Manchester I managed to gain freelance design work through a couple of different agencies that would outsource creatives and I did that for about 6 months. I then moved to London finding a design job with an adventure travel company, Tucan Travel where I had worked for the last 5 years. This was a great job as I was combining two of my passions in travel & design and lucky me I had the opportunity to experience two of their tours (for employee educational's to experience the product) to Sri Lanka and Peru.

Sadly the company did not survive through the pandemic, but I was so grateful for having the opportunity to work for them and cover such a diverse range of projects from print to web and even motion. I was able to put to use my creative skills in the real world and also develop further which after travelling for so long felt incredible and I would like to continue on this path of progression not only for myself but also for companies aspiring to advance further in development.
