About me
I'm an Integrated graphic designer currently working with Crucible Creative in London. My passion for design, illustration, and animation started when I was a teenager and since then I've always challenged myself to improve my skills. I graduated from BCFE in Graphic Design & Art Direction. I have excellent technical (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign) and conceptual design skills, a strong grasp of typography, branding, layout, illustration, and UI/UX (InVision, HTML5, and CSS3), and have over five years experience in Graphic Design and Digital Design roles. I strongly believe that a clear strategy sets the scene for powerful creative solutions. That’s why I always start by listening. I take the time to absorb everything there is to know about your brand, customers, and goals. Insight gives clarity, and clarity leads to a strong design strategy. I continue to invest my free time in honing my talents across a wide field of disciplines and am always excited to develop new skills. I encourage myself to be courageous with my work. As a result, I produce insight driven designs that are effective and bold.
