I’m Joe, a graphic designer based in Slough. I am experienced in multiple avenues of graphic design; including brand identity, print and packaging design. I particularly favour hands-on, practical aspects of design and have a passion for solving creative puzzles possed by a design brief.
I’m adept at working as part of a team but am also capable of effective independent work. Having worked with diverse groups of designers on various projects, the variation in creative style has resulted in really interesting outcomes.
Having enjoyed working on a few freelance projects throughout university, I can now say I’m really looking forward to immersing myself further into the industry.

The brief tasked me to typographically interpret the Longfellow translation of Canto 33 of Dante Aligheri’s Paradiso to introduce The Divine Comedy to new audiences. We were also encouraged to think about how the Cantos follow on from those that came before it. I chose this brief as its open nature, as well as the difficult task of interpreting the inferable imagery described in Paradiso’s 33rd Canto posed

BA (Hons) Graphic DesignUniversity of Portsmouth
Portsmouth, United Kingdom
Throughout my course, I have developed skills in both practical and digital design techniques as well as honing my approach to research and how it informs my design resolutions.
I especially enjoyed learning the practical, hands-on aspects of design, such as screen printing, the use of letterpress and the Albion press.
Through my degree I have also built upon my existing experience with working as part of a team of diverse designers on various projects, the variation in creative style has resulted in some really interesting outcomes.
