About me

Originally from Newcastle and moved to London in 2012 to try a new adventure.

I left school in 1993 with no clear career plan or direction, as so many do, and from there I stumbled into a career of customer service, contact centres, management and resource planning for 25 years.

In 2017 and at the young age of 42, I decided that it was time for me to pursue something more creative. After all, it was the only area in school that I was passionate about so turned my life upside down and took a leap of faith by chasing a creative career.

Brave or mid-life crisis, I guess I was about to find out!

I enrolled at Shillington College for the April intake and I have no regrets in that decision. I would urge anyone who, like me, finds themselves on a path they did not choose and now want to take more control in life, to take the plunge, be brave and go for it! What's the worse that can happen
I am now starting again in a new career and as daunting as it may seem, I feel like I am now doing what I should be doing. I've learnt so much in my previous career about the world and how businesses operate that I can bring all that experience into my now Graphic Design career, that allows me to work more productively and effectively with clients, collaborators and colleagues in all areas.

It's a great feeling to be able to say I am a Graphic Designer and to get the chance to create something from a place of passion and I hope you like what you see.
