About me
I am currently working with Lily Barclay a wonderful copywriter. Here is our Portfolio Link: lilyrubycreative.squarespace.com I am an aspiring Art Director from London. I graduated from Leeds Arts University in May 2020 with a 2:1 in Creative Advertising and as D&AD’s One to Watch (2020). After 3 years studying, my drive is stronger than ever and I am more than keen to start my career in Adverting. I have always been very passionate about art and design and after experimenting with different avenues before university I found the one I am meant to take. Life’s too short to not have fun and I can't wait to work in an agency surrounded by like-minded people that thrive off each other and create great work. I have been searching for a Copywriter to my Art Director over the past year and eventually I found LiIy Barclay. We just clicked and we have been working on a whole variety of briefs in order to build a portfolio so that we are ready for industry.
