About me
I am passionate about my role as a designer. As an organised and creative individual, my passion lies with creating media whether that be through digital, printed or Social Media. This interest was inspired by my work experience at Disney. Working with colour manipulation and how psychology can influence design interests me. I am someone who is proactive and is always looking for new opportunities as well as being helpful in my local community through volunteering. Keen to develop my skills as a designer I look forward to working towards creating high-quality outcomes.

    Drip the Drop-Wateraid CampaignThis animation (W.I.P.) represents a starting point for a campaign for the WaterAid Camping "Thirsty World". "Drop", the main character is the personification of our water mass consumption, when comparing to the Third World countries. The aim of the claymation is to make people more aware of this serious problem and act upon it by being more conscious about their water usage and hopefully to donate for the cause.
