About me
Hi! I'm Kamara. I am a 23-year-old, (BA Hons) Graphic Communication and Illustration graduate from Loughborough University. Alongside attaining my bachelor’s degree I have gained a Diploma in International Studies by studying abroad in Denmark for a year at one of the top-ranking design schools in Europe. I have become adaptable and a fast learner after this experience, and I believe it has enlightened me culturally and broadened my creativity. My years of study have allowed me to obtain a vast amount of multidisciplinary abilities and insights such as communication in design, strategizing, interactive design, data transformation, and analysis. I particularly enjoy researching & ideation the most! Alongside this, it has supplied me with a diverse skill set and knowledge of Creative Cloud software, particularly Indesign, Illustrator and After effects to name a few. I have a multitude of interests, including reading, photography, running and styling clothes. A fun fact about me is that I have also been a dedicated blood donor for 6 years.​​​​​​​ If you would like to take a look at my multidisciplinary portfolio please follow the link just below! https://kamarahutchinson.myportfolio.com/ Feel free to connect with me​​​​​​​, if it’s to collaborate or even just have a chat! :)

    Kamara's KrochetsI run an Instagram page called ‘Kamara’s Krochets’ and in the near future hope to start selling my original ethical crochet clothing and creations. Implementing the skills I have learnt from my graphic communication degree, I actively am creating innovative and original content (including posts, stories, and highlights). Utilising, photography, videography, graphic design, art direction, and styling to do so. As I run this social platform on my own, it has allowed me to bring all of my passion
