About me
I am a multi-disciplinary designer and visual communicator, specialising in typography, print and motion graphics. Recently graduated from UWE, I aim for my work to subtly influence its audience, embedding a message or opinion in their heads that provokes conversation and communicates the curiosity that has driven my process to its final outcome.
I currently work for graphics company Yowzer Signs and Graphics, where I've created a variety of outcomes, from flyers and menus to vehicle graphics and signage. I've also been developing my HTML coding skills by creating my own website. I hope to develop these skills in the future to bring my outcomes to a new level of interactivity.

Graphic DesignerYowzer Signs & Graphics
Milton Keynes, United KingdomFull Time
Yowzer has given me the opportunity to do some of my most varied work so far as one of two designers in the studio; I can go from establishing the graphics for menus and stationery at restaurants, to designing vehicle graphics for local and national companies, who often gain a lot of exposure and business from the designs they drive around in. I’m heavily involved in the print process, and prepare every graphic I make for production through a large-format printer or vinyl cutter.

Social Media ManagerUWE Bandits Baseball Team
- Bristol, United KingdomPart Time
I acted as the main social media manager and content designer for the Instagram and Facebook pages of the UWE Bandits Baseball Team. I worked to create witty and playful designs that would catch the eye of new members for the team, which would boost our revenue. The UWE Bandits’ social media presence hadn’t been established when I joined, allowing me to create a clear set of brand guidelines for all future posts, clearly communicating the location, time and activity of the event.

Education

Graphic DesignUWE Bristol
- Bristol, United Kingdom
Not only did UWE Bristol teach me the elements of design and how use them effectively, my degree also taught me design thinking; how to work around a creative problem to come up with a solution, and to think laterally rather than logically to come up with more experimental ideas. With this knowledge, I was able to obtain a First in an undergraduate degree in Graphic Design.
