About me
As a recent Teesside University graduate with a Bachelor's degree specializing in graphic illustration and digital design, I have gained over 7 years of experience in illustration and have a passion for 35mm photography. I have previously worked with the fashion brand "Death to Tennis" and am now seeking similar rewarding and creative job opportunities where I can incorporate both my skills.

    Collaborated remotely with the well-known fashion brand 'Death to Tennis' to develop striking t-shirt graphics for the summer season. Conducted a thorough discussion with the founder to grasp their business requirements. Skillfully managed design changes and submissions. Unfortunately, the project was abandoned due to unforeseen circumstances caused by the pandemic and time constraints. However, I am extremely grateful for the opportunity to work with such a reputable brand.
