About me

I am a senior designer for Guardian Labs, the Guardian’s commercial features desk. I am a visual communicator with an instinctive sense of aesthetic; a maker, thinker, talker and listener. I have strong creative ideas and my practise follows moral and ethical principles, which resonate within my creative process and lifestyle. I attended University College Falmouth for my Art foundation and Bath School of Art and Design where I completed my degree in Graphic Communication.
