About me
I believe that as a designer you can never stop learning, which is what keeps my interest piqued; 3 years of studying has taught me that, along with the importance of coffee. My passion lies with editorial design, which is probably why I enjoy reading so much but I believe that there is so much more to learn out there. So my options are open to whatever is thrown my way. As a person who is easily pleased I have many interests, my 4 legged child Peppa (yes named after the pig) keeps me busy most of the time, but I greatly enjoy cooking, risotto being my speciality, and I'm a sucker for a video game. I also enjoy the work of Wez Anderson and Studio Ghilbi and could quite happily watch their films all day; and if you have a murder mystery to solve, count me in.
