About me
I am a recent Graphic Design BA (Hons) graduate from Nottingham Trent University with two years of industry experience in branding, packaging and print design. I am trained in using the Adobe suite including; Indesign, Illustrator and Photoshop, I am also proficient in motion graphics, using After Effects and Premiere Pro. I am a detailed-orientated designer who uses my skills to bring people and creativity together to make innovative and unique outcomes—creating deep-rooted relationships between consumers, products, brands and people. My passion for design often stems from focusing on ways to encourage positive change through meaningful physical and digital concepts. This involves a strong understanding that design can positively impact people’s lives and surroundings. Whilst I primarily work on digital platforms, I am also a keen illustrator. I love taking on new briefs that will challenge and push my design skills further to create original concepts that haven’t been thought of before. I have been commended alongside the YCN 2021 winners on my Pact Coffee Brief. I have two year’s of experience within industry, where I worked as the lead graphic designer for The PiXL Club ltd. where I designed editorial resources that were handed out at events, as well as The PiXL Club Events app and webpage for online streaming events during Covid-19.
