I am a creative from Oxford, looking for an opportunity to marry my entrepreneurial drive, inquisitive nature and artistic vision. My interest lies in the role design can play in creating and shaping physical experiences.
Design Values
When working I value routine, discipline and consistency. I want to be surrounded by positive, healthy, energy-up people, who hold mutual value and respect for each other. I believe that trusting relationships create the most inspired outcomes.
Aesthetically I am a minimalist; I value design outcomes that have been distilled down to the very essence of their function, enabling elegant and direct results. This applies to the way I write, visually communicate and code. I believe this creates human led design that is heuristic, honest and understated.
I approach emerging technologies confidently, and have a natural ability to adapt, combine and manipulate them in ways that produce entirely new outcomes.
Conceptually I value depth. I want to create work that is thoughtful, intellectually engaging, and looks beyond the superficial. Through thorough referencing of a diverse range of ideas, culture and imagery, I hope to always produce unfamiliar results that push current thinking and create new perspectives.
Other Interests
Travel and exploration are very important to me. I have been on World challenge to Chile and Bolivia, climbing the 6000m - Mt. Acotango. I have also travelled to Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, America, Croatia, Turkey, Mexico and Belize - to name a few. These trips were all self-funded through freelance work.
Whilst at University I was the Events Rep for Leodis Halls, controlling a £7000 annual budget. I was also an active member of the University Kickboxing team. I have trained in boxing and Jeet Kune Do for the last four years.

Projects
- Liminal IlluminationThis project is a visual study that explores the everyday creative phenomenon of observation. Through the presentation of visually ambiguous urban worlds it aims to engage the audience to consider the relativity of perception and its potential spiritual and philosophical implications. Slowly the images move the viewer from mere comprehension to a heightened awareness of the interplay of structure and light that surrounds us, highlighting the active role observation plays in the creation of reali
