I have recently graduated from the University of Huddersfield after studying for 4 years. I have one years experience working within marketing and design. I am efficient at using the Adobe package and Microsoft Office. I also have experience with Cinema 4D. I am able to create print ready artwork and the knowledge to proof check for all the necessary rules. I have a passion for typography and branding which I enjoy practicing in my spare time by experimenting with new methods and materials. I have experience within character design, clay modelling, screen printing, 3D printing and digital embroidery. I am certified in InDesign and have experience using all Adobe packages to a high standard. I have also completed the online certification for The Fundamentals of Online Marketing awarded by Google. I am a great team player who can also take initiative when working alone, I learn fast and take pride in my designs.

While on my placement year at University I was offered a job at DCI-Artform to work alongside the marketing team to create artwork for shop units. This artwork was for large cosmetic brands such as L'Oreal, Maybelline and NYX, both UK and International.

While studying at the University of Huddersfield I have been given many different tasks to complete in order to further my knowledge and skills. This includes branding, posters, logos, typography, packaging and many more. I took full advantage of the facilities provided by the university and practiced many different printing methods such as UV, 3D, dye sublimation, screen printing, digital embroidery and vinyl. I also learned new skills such as photography and animation which has helped me in my personal work as well as my final major project.
