About me

As a professional graphic designer, I'm fortunate enough to make a living from doing what I love. When you're motivated by passion, the work you produce feels more like a natural obligation to yourself and those around you than simply a means of paying the rent.

Through my body of work thus far I have demonstrated my flexibility as a designer by taking on projects of wildly varying scope for an extremely diverse list of clientele. In the past few years, I have worked with the likes of The NHS, The Salvation Army and most recently, the technology giant, Pitney Bowes, to produce a portfolio of high quality, contextually appropriate work that is based on a solid foundation of technical expertise and research.

Not only have I had the pleasure of working with some amazing brands, but I have had the honour of collaborating with some amazing people of various disciplines such as Marketing, Interior Design, UX, Web Design, Copywriting, Jewelry Design, and Packaging Design - both in a contracted and freelance capacity.

I'm highly proficient with Adobe CC and peripheral applications with professional experience working with video editing and motion graphics software as well. I have a lot of working experience in project management systems and with workflows and file management. The workflow in my current position sees me using the project management software, Workamagig along with Google Drive where I output projects to deadline and specification. I'm usually working on as many as 12 briefs at a time which can range from anything to large print format, social media, CMS web design, tradeshow booths, stage design, logos and wordmarks, brand guidelines, video editing... just to name a few!

I graduated as of 2017 with an MA in Graphic Design where I dedicated my study to empathetic and socially responsible research-lead design. I also have an undergraduate degree in Digital Film and TV production where I focused on visual storytelling and art psychology. I also have earlier qualifications in BND and BFD in Media production along with A level equivalents in Maths and English.

In hiring me you will not only gain an employee who takes great pride in his creativity and problem-solving abilities but one who is not afraid of hard work and always eager to learn through being challenged.
