In my final year of studies I have been freelancing independently, using the valuable skills I have developed to work directly with various clients across multiple disciplines. Here I found my love for branding and creating solutions for small businesses that often exceeds their expectations. Whilst branding is my favoured discipline, I have also delved into other areas of the creative industry such as web design, social media marketing and print design. My drive to learn and to keep evolving as a designer has has brought me a long way - I am now excited about continuing the journey as an employee.

United KingdomFull Time
Since starting as a designer it's been really important for me to create a concept that would allow me to be free of client constraints and create pieces of art/design that could challenge my creativity. My love for art is how I discovered the design world so, Vallo gave me the opportunity to go back to my roots but still apply my industry knowledge and skills.
When deciding to expand this concept into a business I partnered up with Jessica Pitts to really progress Vallo's abilities to provide outstanding quality prints with a creative twist.
