About me
Hi! I'm Sophia. I’m a conceptual thinker and multi disciplinary designer. Interested in engaging, thought provoking design that creates change. I graduated Norwich University of the Arts in 2016. Since graduating, I have interned, art-worked and I'm currently a digital designer at a media agency in Norwich. I thrive in a fast paced environment as part of a team. I like a challenge and always keen to learn more. Feel free to get in touch if there's a project you'd like to collaborate on.

With a history of a vast fishing industry, this seemed like an appropriate route to go down. As other towns share the same history, I dug deeper for something distinct about Lowestoft. Ness Point is the most Easterly Point in Britain, where it resides in the small town of Lowestoft. The environment of Ness Poin

    Student Brief - How can the perception of estate agents be changed? "Glasshouse is another entry that successfully used the emotive aspect associated with buying, selling and renting homes to change perceptions by creating an estate agent’s based on transparency.
