About me
I am a keen observer and obsessive doer, my personality being that of someone who is constantly looking forward to the next step. I have recently completed my degree in Fine Art with History of Art at the University of Leeds and am looking to gain work, most preferably in the creative field, focusing on marketing, advertising, branding and design. I am hard working and reliable with art being my passion, my mind also possesses a strong mathematical and analytical sense. Academia and expanding my own knowledge are things incredibly vital to me. I have years of experience working with members of the public in retail, hospitality and office environments, providing excellent customer service as well as being exceedingly professional.

    History of Art with Fine Art StudiesUniversity of Leeds
     - Leeds, United Kingdom
    I am a graduate of Fine Art and with History of art with a 2.1 from the University of Leeds, where I actively participated in university societies, such as the skiing society, along with making the most of my creative degree in such an energetic city. I regularly organised exhibitions to showcase my work to members of the public, students and professors. I enjoy attending art classes outside of my degree to help further my skill and develop a deeper understanding of different artistic mediums. During University my practise focused on illustration so am capable using Adobe Photoshop, in Design and Illustrator.
