About me

I am a super organised, slightly competitive graphic designer. I love to be busy and productive. I enjoy injecting my designs with a hand skill based practise, with particular interest in paper craft and pattern design. My goal is always to produce a professional and coherent design for the problem at hand. My practice extends across a varied range of disciplines; editorial, branding, advertising and marketing. In my spare time I enjoy designing and executing concepts for themed parties and events, I have a particular obsession with balloons for the moment. Through the four years I’ve been at University I have been a student representative, I’m also taking a lead role in the organising of the final exhibition that will take place this summer; which has increased my communication skills through chairing meetings and practical decision making and fostering meaningful discussion. In other words - managing people. I am currently looking for a design job where I can start my professional career, continue to explore my interests and enthusiasm and love for the subject.

Projects

• Futures Festival CampaignUniversity project for a 3 day series of events and talks to prepare the final year creative students for industry. This piece is a photographed paper image, the cut outs and shadows allude to doors opening, opportunities are creative practitioners. This was a 3 day project in collaboration with my course leader; Jim Millington.
• Little Satchel ProjectI love satchels. I have a collection of satchel. This project was just a bit of fun as a homage to my newest addition to the family, my giant orange satchel.
• Tell the BeesThemed gift wrap project using the theme of bees to shape surface patterns created. This project used hand drawn images to get the organic shapes and style. While working on this project I discovered a traditional old wives tale about bees needing to be told about major events in the owner's life; births, death, weddings and funerals. I thought this was interesting link to the idea of gift wrap and card design.
