I am a graphic designer and artworker with a thorough knowledge of the design process through my industrial design background. I am proficient in Adobe InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop and Lightroom, Microsoft Office, SolidWorks, Inventor, AutoCAD and KeyShot. I have great graphic design skills such as branding, typography, visual communication, artworking, composition, colour, logo development, photography and image manipulation. I have strong artistic skills; sketching and illustrating both physically and digitally. I am professionally experienced in working with a range of materials including metals, plastics and woods and in a range of machinery such as lathes, milling machines, sanders, band saws, pillar drills and grinders.
I love drawing, experimenting with typography, photography and graphic design, painting and drawing. Coming from an industrial design background, I have an extremely thorough approach to design. I love working with people; I am a great communicator with excellent people skills. I am organised as well as adaptable and flexible. I am curious and always eager to learn. Outside of design, you can find me wrapped up in the worlds of authors like Camus, Dostoyevsky and Murakami, enchanted by music from Can to Charles Mingus to Swans, or lost in the films of Kurasawa, Tarkovsky and Wenders.
