About me

Hi, I'm a young artist from East London.

I recently finished university with a degree in Graphic Art and Illustration. Throughout this course I studied and gained skills in various Adobe CS3 software: Photoshop, Illustrator and Flash. I also enhanced my skills in watercolour painting and a whole new range of various drawing techniques.

I have had the opportunity to be part of a gallery show organised and hosted by myself and a group of friends for a university project. We found funding and designed our whole week-long show; this was a worth while experience as it has taught me the importance of both individual and team work and has formed the foundation for new skills.

I have gained some work experience doing voluntary work for organizations such as Exposure (a North London based youth magazine). My tasks involved doing illustrations for articles, front covers in a range of media and working as a story board artist for a short film that was shown in a local cinema.

I have designed the monthly newsletter for: Y.V.C (an organization helping young people in East London start volunteering ). This involved me designing the layout, finding and getting the best quote for the printing of the newsletter and deciding on the print quality all within a time frame and budget.

I feel the best skill that I have gained in my three years at university has been the ability to work as a team, comfortably and confidently with other people from all walks of life. I am hoping to gain more experience in the art/design work field, with a good team of skilled people from which I could learn, thus helping my skills to develop and to aid the company in its artistic endeavours.
