I currently work at a National Trust property near Morpeth, Northumberland in the cafe and study an online part time MA in illustration at Falmouth University.
In my spare time I like to do freelance design and illustration work. I have produced some logo design work for a few small local independent business' including a mobile vets company, a makeup artist and local netball club. I've also had some illustration commissions. I manage an instagram account (@joseph_artanddesign) where I post all content from the freelance work I produce as well as personal work. I enjoy doing this in my spare time, keeping it as a hobby.
In my time at Northumbria university I specialised in illustration for my final 2 years. I choose this specialism as I loved drawing and thought it would suit my skills best. I was able to apply some of the graphic design skills I'd learnt in my foundation course and first year of university to most of the projects in illustration, some of this includes producing; graphic novels and book designs.
