About me

Hi

I'm a Leeds based graphic designer. I've recently graduated from Leeds College of Art where I studied a BA

(Hons.) Graphic Design degree. My main focus is on web and print design.

As a designer I aim for outcomes which focus on functionality and simplicity but at the same time look

great. This gives my work a minimalist quality supported by a strong concept.
