I have just completed BA (Hons) Graphic Design. Through the course of my degree, I have immersed myself into the exploration of artists that I admire and ideas that are new and exciting to me. Integrating all that I have learnt is an ongoing process and one I look forward to expanding even more with each new project I will work on.
The adventure of blending graphic design into my world view of nature and family inspires me, as well as incorporating hand crafts such model making and lino print into my designs.
The artist who have inspired by over the years are Thomas Doyles, Jim Parkyn, Roy Tyson, Paula Scher, Saul Bass, Quentin Blake, and Christoph Niemann.

I also created four double page spreads to go along with some of the front covers, based on those certain issues.
- D&AD - Yula Energy Drink EntryThe aim of the project was to create something which was 'copylead'. For our design we wanted to create something slightly different and the next step in poster design by making it animated. By placing the animation behind the text, it brings focus to the caption. Whilst researching the company we notice they did not have a Twitter page. For our final outcome we decided to create an animated poster which include sound, as well as a mock-up Twitter page as well. This brief it was a joint pro
- Penguin Book Cover EntryThis is my entry for the Penguin Student Design Award 2020. I decided to make my book cover design for 'Goodnight Mister Tom' a little different and fun by creating the illustrations from Fimo clay. The front cover features the main characters, Mr Tom, William and also Sam the dog. Also on the front cover, I added a tree which consist of two different types of leaves from an oak and a Beech tree, the leaves represent the two main characters Mr Tom Oakley, and William Beech.
