About me

Having not attended University it has allowed me to focus on what I love and have a passion for. This has lead me to where I am now. Freelance graphic design is what I do throughout the whole year, working with a wide range of business's creating an identity and brand that they can be proud of. Having studied at Shillington College in London, it allowed me to gain the skill set and contacts to kickstart my career in the industry. As well as graphic design, I help set up Gottwood (UK's best boutique festival 2017 - Independent) and Houghton (Best festival in Europe - Mixmag). On top of this, I am currently in the process of starting my own festival in the South West of the UK. Event organisation and coordination is an area I have

Projects

• Urban SplashThis brief was to design and create the Spring Quarterly Newsletter for Urban Splash. After brainstorming multiple ideas and directions, I was left with two key words that led the design process. GROWTH and MOVEMENT which stuck as key influences throughout my design. Student work.
• Saltrock SessionsThe brief was to come up with a campaign event to promote a brand of our choice. I chose the UK surf brand Saltrock. The concept was a free festival in Croyde, UK where Saltrock began. It would be a collaborative event where artists, surfers, skaters and musicians hang out for the weekend inspiring those around them. I explored a very illustrative style trying to draw the attention to the younger demographic, majority of whom will have no idea what Saltrock is, due to bigger brands such as Vans and Globe. I designed a mobile, desktop site and a series of posters promoting the event. Student work.
• Paper Bag AppPaper Bag is an app designed to collate recipe's ingredients and provide a simple and efficient alternate to the current way of shopping. The iconography, playful and minimal approach was used to target a younger demographic. Student work.
