About me

Prior to starting University, I completed an Art Foundation Diploma at New Collage Nottingham. Here, I gained an understanding of a broad range of creative methods including Adobe Photoshop, illustration, photography and textiles. For my Final Major Project, I specialised in surface pattern, producing hand drawn and digitalised designs, printing these onto to T-shirts, cushions and a wallpaper; I received a distinction grade. Following my diploma I chose to develop this project further by branding, digitally marketing and launching my own online T-shirt company - Mkono Designs. In 2015 I started my degree in English and Comparative Literature. During my time at University I was Social Secretary for Leeds University English Department. I was responsible for the organisation and management of student events, including a Mad Hatter's Christmas Ball for 300 attendees. I was the Lifestyle and Culture Online Editor for Leeds University Student Newspaper, The Gryphon. I ran weekly meetings, maintained the sections online presence via Facebook and edited articles through WordPress. In 2017 I began a year long placement at Warner Bros. UK, in the Creative Services and Pre Production team. I Managed the development of new creative, across in-store point of sale, press, packaging, AV, online and digital advertising across DVD, Digital and Games releases. I executed fully integrated media plans; managing multiple agencies and briefs simultaneously as well as championing artwork approvals for retailers and partners, including Sky, HMV, BT and Virgin Media. I graduated from Leeds University in 2019 with a 2:1. I joined Nibbs Events in July 2019 as Event Executive. During my time at Nibbs I have led on the planning, production and delivery of international influencer activations and parties for high profile clients and assisted in the production, logistics and management of red carpet builds and events. Events that I have worked on have included the Pride of Britain Awards 2019, The Fashion Awards 2019 and The Rise of Skywalker European Premiere 2019.
