About me
Within design I believe that the solution should be well considered, functional and aesthetically pleasing, these are key points I aim to follow in my own work. I approach briefs in a pragmatic and logical way always conscious of the audience so that the outcome can reach its full potential.
My enthusiasm to learn has encouraged me to enroll in courses to help develop my skill set. I am always motivated to improve on both my theory and practical skills to ensure that every task I undertake is completed to the best of my ability.
I have a strong appreciation for the arts and therefore enjoy visiting museums and galleries as well as participating in cultural activities. In my spare time I also strive to maintain a healthy and active lifestyle. Over the past five years running has become my main sport of choice and I have undertaken several charity runs. Music is another strong interest and as well as playing guitar, I like to educate myself on the history of the subject.
