About me
Are you looking for your next star designer? Do you require a creative chameleon who can adapt to any situation? Then you need me as your next Graphic / UI Designer. It would be a dream come true for me. I have the creative skills to deliver work at a high standard, and the skills I lack I can pick up quickly. I have the drive, passion and perseverance that would enable me to fit right in with your team of talent. Right now, I'm trying to hold my shit-uation together by freelancing as a brand / identity designer since having my lost my job due to the pandemic. Every day I create and post content to continuously develop my craft, constantly working hard towards what I want and where I want to be. I am a creative graphic designer with a strong emphasis designing for print production, a sector that I have been involved with over the past six and a half years. Where I really want to be, though, is designing for games, both analogue and digital. My skills are wide and varied. The range of experience I possess includes large format print production, layout and brochure formatting, 2D design collateral for print, packaging, and signage. I am well versed in logo and identity design, motion design, photography, and WordPress website design. I tend to stretch myself across a broad selection of roles because I like to use knowledge and ideas from one project to fuel another. I believe this is what makes me a stronger designer. In my personal time, I like to immerse myself in the world of UX / UI design; reading, studying and practicing in order to understand how to design better for this platform. To wind down, I love playing table-top games with my friends, paddleboarding and listening to design podcasts - Design Details being my favourite. I've cut my teeth in fast-paced environments, creating, developing, printing, and finishing countless projects that were required within a tight production timeline to achieve deadlines. I hope you consider my abilities as a strong potential for your graphic designer role. Here's hoping we can start up a conversation soon.

  • Bumble App CV - My Job Application to the Dating Service
    Bumble App CV - My Job Application to the Dating ServiceBest case scenario: I get the chance to interview for a global and household brand name in social tech. Worst case scenario: I have learned how to use Figma by leveraging the knowledge I already had in Adobe XD and Illustrator. The idea of my reconstruction was not to redesign the app to improve, as I wanted to keep this project short and sweet. A redesign would be far more involving. Instead, I wanted to present the hiring manager at Bumble with an interactive experience that will hopefully l

    Daily UI 008 - 404 Page:: Daily UI Challenge 008 :: 404 Page "Design a 404 page. Does it suit the brand's style? Is it user-friendly? It might sound mundane, but not everything can be flash or glamorous. Every day millions of people will be landing on 404 pages. You have an opportunity to help them in a way that's useful and aesthetically pleasing.(It's up to you!)" - - - I took this opportunity to create an illustration using the 3D tools and Symbols in Illustrator.

    Daily UI 007 - Settings:: Daily UI Challenge 007 :: Settings "Design settings for something. Is it for security or privacy settings? Game settings? What is it and what's important? (It's up to you!)" I chose to recreate the settings menu on the One Night Ultimate... tabletop game app. I feel the original isn't user friendly and looks ugly in places (for example: back / pause btn). What I hoped to achieve is a more standard looking settings menu with better visual feedback and usability. I've included: • Help icon

    Daily UI 005 - App Icon:: Daily UI Challenge 005 :: App Icon Design Hint... "Design an app icon. What best represents the brand or product? Or is it incredibly unique? Does it look great at a distance and does it stand out when put on your home screen alongside other apps?" I love board and tabletop games, but I haven't an app to "collect" or bookmark my favourites / wishlist of the ones I want to purchase, other than my Amazon wishlist. This app icon / logo plays with the marriage between a meeple and a star (If

    Daily UI 004 - Calculator:: Daily UI Challenge 004 :: Calculator Design Hint... "Design a calculator. Standard, scientific, or specialty calculator for something such as a mortgage? Is it for a phone, a tablet, a web app?" I was inspired by other dribbbler's projects that chose a different direction to the classic calculator app design. I love sweets (candy) and identity design / branding, so the idea was actually conceived in this order, then coming up with the idea of a "candy art jar" calculator (think bottled sa
