Hi! I am an aspiring young creative studying in Leeds Yorkshire. Living in three different cities; Hong Kong, Phuket and Leeds, has given me an insight into a range of different artistic styles and diverse cultures.
I am a recent Graduate of Leeds Art University’s BA Creative Advertising, in 2016 I decided to move from Thailand to the UK to pursue my creative career and completed the UAL Art & Design Foundation diploma in 2017. Here I found a passion for copywriting as throughout different cultures and communities there is a common ground through the art of copy.
I love to work collaboratively or challenge myself on independent projects and am actively looking for opportunities to gain experience in the creative industry.
Some of my favourite things to do is traveling, I have been to twenty countries and forty cities; during which developed communication skills and learned about about the world around me as well as myself, by developing communication skills and an appreciation of how social media brings people together.
If you would like to see some examples of my work please visit my website. I have examples of digital and physical artwork on my socials as well @gracewstorey.art
