About me
Original, easy going, nerdy, friendly, hard working true words to describe me. I am a big fan of thorough research and coming up with original concepts. Love learning new things, enjoy vectors and layout ​ Despite being relatively new to the design world I've worked in the job industry for over 11 years and know how a fast paced environment works. I work to the best of my ability and if you look through my work you'll see I'm exactly what you are looking for.
Projects
  • Design a Language box
    Design a Language boxThe brief was to do intense research into a language I chose Icelandic due to their folk lore and incredible views.

  • Doodle for Google
    Doodle for GoogleIn my first year we were asked to look at decades 1920s, 40s, 60s, 80s, I chose 1940's and 1980's I then researched a lot into them and found that disney created the masterpiece that is Fantasia so I used this and created a disney inspired doodle for google. My 2nd piece is 1980's which was when the simpsons was created so I redesigned the google logo to look like characters from the simpsons this project was the first time I had used the pen tool so i was really proud of the outcome.
