About me
I am currently working as the Creative Manager for Hylo Athletics, a sportswear startup, and work on a range of projects across the branding and marketing function. From social media to shop design, the job is never boring. I studied graphic design at the University of Leeds, and am passionate about all things creative (and sports, which some see as slightly contradictory). Would love to connect with more creatives, and developers to help us build the brand!

The brand is aimed at commuters, as they will save time by using the scheme. The design is bright and colourful so that it stands out against the concrete jungle of LA, as well as fitting in to the artistic stereotype of the city.
