As a designer, I like to take my influences from both historical and current techniques. Research forms a very large part of my design process with inspiration coming from books, logos, posters, films, and even record sleeves as music is a passion of mine. When designing I like to create effective design that is simply expressed.
Logo and identity design and typography is a passion which I would like to pursue within my design career. I enjoy manipulating and pairing typography within my work as well as crafting my own type using geometry. These techniques are also used within the logo and identity systems that I create for effectiveness.
