About me

Seeing an idea come to life ignites my creativity and consolidates my enthusiasm for design. I’m a multi-disciplinary creative with a forward-thinking approach.

Surrounded by all things design, my personal interests lie within editorial and layout. With attention to detail and the ability to understand client needs, I strive to create unique and bespoke solutions that go above project requirements and beyond expectations.

  Hand Marbled 2019 Desk CalendarIt all started with some marbling inks. I began experimenting with different pigment types, water temperature and paper stocks to see how these variables affected the outcome of the pattern. I collated my favourites, scanned them, worked a little Photoshop magic and used them as the foundations of this 2019 desk calendar. Giving the traditional calendar a modern twist, I took Scandinavian inspiration to create a simple design that championed the hand marbled patterns. I chose an uncoated stock

I achieved a First Class Degree from the University of Northampton. My final major project explored over-consumption within today's society; the findings were presented in a series of 3 designed newspapers, entitled 'warped'. Using visual devices, this gave an alternative look at large companies, advertising and the horrifying repercussions.
