About me

I like to believe life is what you make of it, therefore I like to consider myself as being open to new experiences and opportunities. I like to think of myself as a thoughtful, considerate and diligent individual. With a keen eye for good design, I hold myself to high standards. I believe my creative approach lends itself well to solving problems and thinking of new ideas. I like to keep busy and outside of the office, I enjoy learning new skills and exercising my creative skills, illustrating, writing, drawing or fine-tuning my musical skills or learning a new language.

Projects

• Bespoke Calligraphy QuotesI offer clients bespoke calligraphy quotes. Before setting pen to paper, the client is briefed about the layout. Once approved the paper is prepared with relevant guidelines and the piece is written out. Below is a recent commission on A3 paper in black in of a poem.
• Custom Illustrated MapsI now offer custom illustrated maps through my Etsy site. The process involves the Client filling in a form to help with the initial research process. From there, we establish a colour scheme, check initial illustrations and placements before adding the hand-lettered elements. The final product is prepared to be professionally printed on Hahnemuhle Agave Eco paper and has so far received five-star reviews on Etsy and are pictured here on the inhouse printing I do on regular orders on a linen tex

Education

BA Hons Modern Languages (French) with Journalism & News Media University of Roehampton
Sep 2010 - Jun 2014London, United Kingdom
At Roehampton, I was able to study a range of modules that enabled me to develop analytical and thinking skills as well as develop creative writing skills and filmmaking and editing skills. My time at university involved spending a year abroad at the Universite Lyon II where I worked as a tutor. I believe this was an invaluable experience which not only enabled me to develop my language skills but evolve personally too. On my final year I took on the role of a Flat Rep which saw me responsible for the well-being of 11 first year and international students. The role required diplomatic skills and a lot of patience.
