Bournemouth based Graphic Designer and Creative Thinker, recent graduate from Arts University Bournemouth and currently working as a Graphic Designer at Pretty Clever Studio.
I have particular passions for Branding and Advertising, and how brand narratives work in digital spaces. I love clean, minimal, geometric design styles, and enjoy exploring the latest design trends. I have an aptitude for digital design, with my first website design currently in the works for a local property company.
In every project I do, I create a different individual approach, using thought, insight and focus on the target audience to create designs that make an impact. I believe in communicating complex ideas into simple and thought-provoking designs.
Besides my passion for design, I’m a hobbyist photographer. Being brought up in Dorset, I love capturing local landscapes. I have been able to use my skills over the past two years as the Interior Photographer for Grandeur Property.

- Grandeur Property | Brand Identity & PhotographyI was approached by Grandeur Property to create a brand identity for their business, this entailed creating a logo, setting a typeface and colour palette.

They ask to create something fresh, geometric and simplistic. They wanted to ensure the design would be viewed as a clean, modern and trustworthy.
- Brodie | Identity DesignI designed and formed the brand identity which, singer/songwriter George Hewitt, now performs under - ‘Brodie’.
