Education
Graphic Design For Beginners
-
I’ve always been interested in how design helps us tell stories, so this spring I decided to take CSM’s Graphic Design For Beginners course. The best bit? The Illustration class. Haven't stopped doodling since.
Graduate Certificate in Periodical Journalism
-
I got my first taste of journalism working on my uni paper, The Warwick Boar. The bug bit me so badly that a year later I decided to do this four-month training course. I still use what I learned every day.

Awards
Charity Campaign/Strategy of the Year - The Drum Network
Designing and running the Swing the Vote campaign for youth charity vInspired is one of my proudest moments.
I recruited and worked with ten Youtubers to create a video series to get more young people voting at the 2015 General Election.
Afterwards, a quarter of 18-25s remembered the campaign, and 46 per cent of them said it had changed the way they thought about politics.
As well as winning this award, the campaign was highly commended in The Drum's content marketing award category.
