I am a passionate graphic design graduate with a BA(Hons) Graphic Design degree at South Essex College. I have always wanted to achieve the best, push boundaries and explore endless possibilities within my career. Working since a young age I have a very good work ethic working at multiple jobs while studying and I have a can-do attitude towards tasks I’ll get set. I’ve been studying graphic design since 2015 at college and university so I have a lot of educational experience. I also studied Art & Design for 2 years at college before my graphic design course so I’m very familiar with the artistic industry as well as the design industry. Growing up in Essex, very close to London, I am very familiar with the sort of artwork and influences I see are very interesting, powerful, diverse, inspirational and part of a modern-day world. I have had the opportunity to travel the United States for 2 months exploring all different cultures, meeting and socializing with new people, work in a independent environment, flexible to change and open to new and exciting locations. I’m very friendly, approachable as well as I like learning a lot about myself and learning about influences my graphic design work. I have a lot of experience in Adobe software, especially Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop, InDesign and After Effects. I am very digital within my work, but I also like the practicality of non-digital work as it helps scope my work further.

- 2018 Life Cycles (Natural History Museum)To produce 100 posters to promote a life cycle of your choice, each individual piece requires to have different outcomes per poster.
