I recently graduated from the University of Hertfordshire. I have specialist skills in the Adobe Creative Suite, including Photoshop, Illustrator, In-Design and After Effects. Also, I can explore User Interface Design; which I have applied during a work placement with BAM Construct UK last summer.
I am self-motivated, diligent, a team player and determined to focus on delivering a project to satisfy the audience and client’s brief. The process of generating ideas, and executing them visually is what fascinates me about Graphic Design and fuels my passion for my work.
In my spare time, I enjoy painting and using my illustration skills. I find it hugely satisfying. I also enjoy sociology, which is what often influences my approach to find relevant and engaging design solutions.

- Thigh ClapsBrief: To engage in a subject of my choosing. Approach: There is a massive amount of inequality between men and women in the comedy circuit. In 2018 the Edinburgh Fringe Festival had over 30 comedy shows and only 3 of them featured women. ‘Thigh Claps’ as a brand, event and campaign uses honesty to ‘present the new wave of female comedians’, in order to create more equality within the comedy circuit, so that they can have the same opportunities as men.

Graphic/UI DesignerBAM Construct
- St Albans, United KingdomPart Time
I was called in to aid and develop a new approach to their Business Management System, that hadn’t been updated in over 10 years. I worked closely with the Senior Team, helping them to understand and develop a new layout that will hopefully create fluidity and consistency throughout their documents, spreadsheets and site tables. I developed wireframes of oversite pages as well as designing buttons to be placed where needed. Over these few months I learnt that to form a harmonious team honesty and clarity are very important. In order to work together to the best of our ability we had to be clear about our views on different parts of the project, these meetings helped us to alter parts of the BMS in order for it to create ease throughout the business.

VolunteerCherry Lodge Cancer Care
- Barnet, United KingdomPart Time
I volunteered for 6 months during my studies as I wanted to have a better understanding of the struggles that charities like Cherry Lodge through when trying to gain funding for cancer care. This was part of my extended project, whereby I wrote a thesis examining Cancer Care and its difficulties. This experience also taught me that the care for customers is key, as everyone who walks through the door is different in their own right and treating them with the upmost respect is essential and it helps to develop a comforting repour with customers.
