My name is Imogen Ford, over the past five years I have studied Graphic Arts and Design at diploma and degree level. This has provided me with a rich knowledge of contextual art history and processes. As an individual, I am naturally creative and enjoy developing concepts, ideas and design.
The focus of my design practice is based mainly around illustration and I continually work to refine and develop my skill set, using both digital and analogue processes.
