About me

After being given a work experience placement at a local design agency while at secondary school I discovered my passion for graphic design, I have always enjoyed art and was a regular grade A student in the subject and in design and communication.

While at College I retained my relationship with the design agency Claydon Aston and worked within the company out of term time. While in my final year of my HND I managed to get a job at KWS marketing, and worked in their design studio as a junior designer, and while working there I was still able to achieve distinction as my final grade.

My style is varied. I have a passion for typography and how imagery and type work together, I have had advertising campaigns that I have designed and produced running in many of the national newspapers as well as large format advertising on London Underground and British rail.

I have also Designed and art worked large file documents from souvenir magazines to University prospectuses.
