About me
I’m a Graphic designer, who works in the areas of print, book design, typography and occassionally digital or web. I’ve worked as a freelance designer since mid-2015 after some initial jobs assisting some established studios in London. My research interests involve looking at ways of organising, autonomous structures and new forms of radical pedagogies; the convergence of politics and graphic design aesthetics; and looking at the role of language in artistic practice, both orally and using the written word. I have been a participant of Evening Class, a self-organised education group and learning structure since its inception (January 2016–Present), and I am engaged in contributing to and developing the project, working closely with the other members. Past clients, studios and collaborators include: Precarious Workers Brigade, United Colors of Bennetons, The Alliance of Radical Booksellers, Brick Lane Debates, Phaidon Press, Housmans, YES Studio, Studio Chehade, Gareth Lindsay, Kieran Startup, Tim Wan, Thomas Pausz, and Evening Class.
