About me
Recent winner of the PPA 30 under 30 awards 2022, I am currently working as a Multimedia Designer at Immediate Media across print and digital for a range of brands including Olive magazine and BBC GoodFood. With my work I strive to focus on interactive, responsive design as I believe that involving audiences through engaging experiences stands out in today’s fast-paced visual society. I have developed a keen design aesthetic with a personal visual language, working across a range of graphic design projects from digital to print design. This including websites, apps, magazines, posters and many more. My experiences in industry and education have enabled me to balance a range of projects at once and thrive in high pressure situations, ensuring strict deadlines are met without compromising quality. I am keen to continue gaining experience in the creative industry and further develop my skills.
