Hello! I'm Rich, a graphic designer, illustrator and avid reader and poncho fan.
Communication is what captivates me, every micro detail tells a story and contributes to a wider narrative. I use my skills and training as a designer, and my history in fine art and illustration (which has been ridiculously broad!) to bring projects to life and help them tell their story.

Education
(BA hons) Graphic DesignUniversity of Portsmouth
- Eldon Building, Portsmouth, Southsea, UK
With each year my skill levels advanced dramatically learning a bunch of new software and technical design practices. Design practice and design theory was very much a focus in the first year, with the last two years focusing on conception and planning of personal and professional projects - looking for meaning and development in our work.

A LevelsImberhorne Sixth Form
- East Grinstead RH19 1RJ, UK
This Art and Design A-Level was my first taste of professional practice. As a vocational qualification, it put emphasis on professional exploration and dressed each unit as hypothetical briefs.
The course touched upon multiple fields of art, from fashion and textile art commissions to digital and traditional artworks - with a focus on experimentation, conception, and developing design practice
