About me

A passionate multidisciplinary designer , with a proactive spirit, seeking employment in design,technology and innovation. Having previously worked for companies such as Fjord and AKQA, I am interested in both Visual Design and User Experience Design roles. I have a Master of Engineering - Design and Innovation joint degree, from two University of London colleges. Exceptional creative thinking, problem solving, and project managementskills have been acquired through individual and team design projects within my degree and previous employment. I am interested in digital product design visual/ UX/ UI), elements of conceptual design, service design, as well as the design and production of live events. I sketch, illustrate and screen print in my free time, as well as writing poetry. I also have a keen interest in how design is used within education, to alter the world around us, and aim to incorporate this within my practice. 'I strive to create work which enhances life and provokes thought.' ‘Designers and Innovators must go beyond. Beyond ideas at the forefront of the mind, exploring possibilities and seemingly impossible outcomes, constricting and tailoring ideas to produce innovative design.’

• StoryTechersAs the internet and computing continues to dominate various aspects of everyday life, current digital natives may not comprehend a life before gadgets and gizmos, which fit comfortably within their pockets. With that being said, how can we encourage current digital natives to engage with the making and creation of digital things, and not merely be consumers? How can we maintain fun and interest beyond the screen, whilst equipping them with digital skills of the present and the future?'
