About me

Designer and Illustrator with one year Industry experience. Although only one year experience, the heaps of passion, enthusiasm and skill, more then make up for this. The roles and responsibilities bestowed were those that you would expect for a more seasoned designer. Being thrown in at the deep end meant the job and skills had to be picked up quickly and correctly. Previously Studied art and design and gained a degree with honours. Still and always will be learning new skills, processes and how to work at a higher standard.Constantly striving for perfection. When not being creative, athleticism on 8 wheels and a flat track is the preferred domain. Roller Derby not only fuels creativity, but makes you really appreciate the people around you. Your teams, whether on track, at home or at work.
