About me

I am a creative graphic designer from Oxfordshire, UK. I have over 8 years professional design experience working on print and digital design, from posters, brochures and packaging to social media and web design. I also have experience in hand drawn and vector illustration with a versatile style, and particularly enjoy surface pattern design and screen printing. I like to design bold patterns and I am inspired by vintage commercial printmaking, landscapes, unexpected patterns in everyday life and travels to exciting places. I studied fine art and printmaking in Aberystwyth, Wales and graphic design in Brisbane, Australia. I have worked in London, Tanzania, The Dolomites in Italy and Whistler, Canada.

The colours and design elements were also used across the new website and blog.
• Picturehouse x Star Wars website takeoverTickets sales release for Star Wars: The Force Awakens was anticipated to be a big day on the Picturehouse CInemas website so the marketing team planned a special Star Wars takeover on the cinema selector page.
