About me
I started studying creative digital media as a mature student. I had previously studied information technology and from this developed a keen interest in Web and Graphic Design.
In the last 3 years at Worcester, I have developed my creative skills in a multidisciplinary environment. The course has encouraged my creative development, and understanding of visual language. I feel that by embarking on a range of live projects, I have developed an insight into what is required within the creative design industry.
I have covered many subjects throughout my time here and feel I have gained a broad range of design skills, with a strong emphasis on green design, graphic information design and photography.
The green design module gave me an awareness of the impact we as designers have on the environment which I feel is reflected in my work.
I plan to carry on developing my knowledge and understanding in this area, with the hope of inspiring other designers to do the same.
On completing my degree, I plan to gain employment in a studio environment, or work as a freelance graphic and web designer. I also have a passion for digital photography, and aim to carry on my practice in this subject.
