About me
I'm a graphic designer and illustrator with a curious mindset, a love of storytelling and appreciation of art and creativity in all forms. I flourish when creating impact with my work, frequently combining my strong hand-drawing skills with digital elements to produce unique outcomes. I have experience in multiple design fields including print, digital and marketing design, as well as commercial illustration and branding.
Projects
  • COALITION TEAMWORK POSTER
    COALITION TEAMWORK POSTERWhilst at Coalition, I was asked to create a large-scale piece of artwork to be displayed in the office. The words were brainstormed as a team for what makes a successful company and working environment, and I illustrated the outcome based on brand colours and things associated with the agency; music and live performance are the key components. I wanted the design to resemble a classic tour poster, and was inspired by the art nouveau styles of Pink Floyd and Led Zeplin artwork from the 70s. The
  • TOUR POSTERS
    TOUR POSTERSA selection of tour posters for clients during my time at Coalition Agency. My goal for each image is to make a bold statement, using the artist press shot as a starting point to create a vibe. I am most frequently drawn towards textures, bright colours and contrast when designing a tour poster, often keeping the layout of text and logos simple and easy to digest.

    Graphic DesignerCoalition Agency
     - London, United KingdomFull Time
    My time in this role has allowed me explore my creative ideas freely across a broad spectrum of projects, both print and digital. I have been involved in the brainstorming of concepts, liaised with colleagues frequently to ensure deadlines were met and undertook large briefs with multiple outcomes. I designed tour posters, logos, booklets, an app, social media content and created event artwork & merchendise for all in-house brands. This includes Ministry of Sound World Tours & Events. Hedkandi, Pure Music Live, Coffee House Sessions amongst others. I also headed up the full rebrand for Hedkandi 2018, including illustrating the 5 DJ Ambassadors; the final designs then went on Spotify. I have rapidly developed further as a designer, illustrator and artworker in this position. Being the solo designer for an agency working on multiple diverse brands has equipped me with efficiency, a keen eye for detail and expanded my knowledge in research and techincal execution. I am confident I can apply all of these skills to my next role.
