About me
Hello! I am a recent graduate from Robert Gordon University, completing the Communication Design course. I mainly work with Graphic Design and Illustration and work on a variety of projects. I love working with design for print, especially packaging projects, I love the 3D and wrap-around design aspects. I also love working with branding and creating or adding to a visual identity. I have an interest in typography, and love learning new skills, and expanding my knowledge.
