About me
I am a naturally curious, considerate and passionate freelance graphic designer from Scotland. I am always looking to enlighten my knowledge through learning new skills and reading books. As I feel the more you know, the more creative and innovative you can be. I’ve always had a passion for bold styles in graphic design which are eye-catching, alluring and clear in the message they are trying to convey. I am extremely interested in typography, motion graphics and branding. Since graduating university I’ve focused on challenging my perceptions and growing as a professional designer. I firmly believe that if you put the hard work in, you will get good results. If you would like to discuss a creative idea, drop me an email and we can arrange a call.
