About me
I’ve been a very creative person since early childhood, where my creative skills were encouraged by my parents. Over the years, I was able to experiment with a broad range of arts and crafts, before eventually shifting my focus towards Fine Art in college and university. (2003-2019) A DIVERSE range of work experience gained from several jobs. (The best by far was as a Christmas Temp for Virgin Megastore in Piccadilly Circus, December 2006). - Retail, warehouse, customer service, hospitality and catering at Wembley Arena, (2020) The pandemic and lockdown caused me to review my work history to date and it’s where I learnt more about the Creative Tech industry. Whilst studying, I worked full time as a Receptionist, Administrator and Social Media Manager at Springhallow Special School. I was constantly exhausted. (2021-2022) UI Design programme offered by Careerfoundry. (Late 2022) Graduated from Careerfoundry and started my first design job as a UX/UI Designer with Citizen Ticket (contract). (2023) It’s been a year of throwing mud at the wall and seeing what sticks, in short. I’ve been upskilling in Graphic Design, and some frontend web development - more recently focused on learning to build responsive websites in Webflow.
