About me
I’ve had a mountainous passion for design my whole life. I am an extensive visual thinker, a very creative person, good eye for detail also very hard working. Every piece of design must start from a great idea and a great question. This exploration and development continues to be an enjoyable learning experience, where I have produced grid systems for printed media, developed a typeface, produced visuals. Experimenting with new techniques and media allows me to create abstract and organic work, however I enjoy the challenge of working to a tight brief. I believe the ability to work collectively as a group in the creative sector is incredibly important, and can be a great way to bounce ideas around and support one another. Producing tactile objects also interests me; it is very rewarding to have something to hold at the end of a project and, with the digital world growing, the ability to interact with a piece of design work is a great feeling.

  • D & AD THE EMPOWERMENT OF MUSIC
    D & AD THE EMPOWERMENT OF MUSICMusic is a powerful tool that can provide the perfect outlet for opinions, emotions, world views and even epitomise the political climate. Some of the biggest social and political movements hold a music moment behind them, from Frankie Goes to Hollywood’s ‘Two Tribes’ fight against nuclear war, to Morrissey’s impassioned plea against the slaughter of animals in ‘Meat is Murder’, to Gwen Stefani’s remarks on sexism and stereotyping of the male-dominated music industry in ‘Just a Girl’.
