About me
I am an enthusiastic Graphic Designer with a professional approach to all aspects of graphic design and the visual communication industry. I hold a comprehensive portfolio of work and have been involved in assembling images, typography and creating designs. I have worked in sectors including editorial and marketing. I always contribute fully to the team and through hard work and my natural creativity I have proved to previous employers to be an invaluable member of staff. I always maintain exceptional standards of quality and have the ability to manage tasks and projects in a manner that never compromises quality whilst meeting deadlines set.
Projects
  • Placement publication
    Placement publicationA printed edition where I documented, reflected and designed on my work experience producing a publication.
  • The power of print!
    The power of print!A magazine to commemorate the building of Moorgate. After 78 years of continuous employment, LMU, the London Metropolitan University will leave this magnificent building by the end of the year. So, with my colleague, we designed this publication for this historical building, with our pictures that we took during our work experience.

  • FMP project: Embrace a memory
    FMP project: Embrace a memorySo, do you feel something dancing inside your stomach? Is it sadness? Nostalgia? Are you thinking that we will lose our tutors and colleagues? It’s hard to say goodbye, but it could be easy to celebrate all the milestones of this university. This project took us to explore and challenge the concept of MEMORIES. I presented different ways of how to interpret feelings. I analyzed, investigated and discussed memories through illustrations, photographies, and design.
