Since starting in the design industry, I have gained vast experience working in both digital and print disciplines, whilst also managing creative projects from beginning to end. I decided to further myself professionally so studied at the University of Creative Arts (formerly KIAD) whilst working freelance to help pay my tuition fees. For the last 3 years I have worked in-house taking on a wide range of responsibilities, whilst also continuing to develop my personal projects. Through one of these, I successfully built a community via social media, now with over 350,000 users, without spending any money.

The project was a collaborative process involving myself as the main editor with assistance from Firecracker's in-house editor, Alex using Avid's collaborative functionality. Vodafone wanted to create a series of films as part for their #Firsts campaign, showing people fulfilling their dreams & doing things they've always wanted to do, for the first time...
Work history
Creative Lead
- Kings Hill, UKFull Time
In 2015, I took the role of Creative Lead at a large insurance company outside of Maidstone in Kent. Working in a team of 4, I was given full control of a wide range of artwork including all marketing merchandise and
broker branded material to help assist external companies sell our products. During my time here, I managed design projects and marketing campaigns of all size, most notably our company re-brand that took place when we were bought out by French insurer Covéa Group. I worked with all areas of the company to ensure that the visual and legal re-brands were completed to a high standard. The project took just under 6 months and resulted in me winning a company-wide award for my achievement. I also worked on product artwork with clients such as John Lewis, CostCo and The Ministry of Defence to make sure our products were up to their strict brand guidelines.
