I am a multidisciplinary designer who’s interests lie around creating meaningful work, often with a playful undertone. My projects are driven by causes that are prominent in today’s society; aiming to generate conceptually strong work that will hopefully make a change. Working with other creative people is one of my strengths as I feel collectively two, or more, minds are greater than one.

- Hilda QuickBranding and promotional pack for a photographer who’s work is heavily line orientated.

The ambigous identity leaves her options open should she move more towards curation.
