Graphic DesignerWillCreate
Jul 2017United KingdomFull Time
Eventually, I furthered my expertise to a new company that challenged me with new responsibilities, standards and clientele. WillCreate was an agency that specified in designing and marketing brandwork and brandloyalty for the automotive industry; allowing me to work alongside clients such as Audi, Land Rover, Volvo and Toyota. The new environment of work gave me a brand new perspective on what it meant to be a graphic designer; focusing on the visual language of graphic design and application of creative problem-solving to deliver visual solutions that communicate effectively. I have learnt during this experience that the combination of typography, image and layout are the basic visual building blocks of graphic design.

Education

Bachelor of Arts (BA) UCA - University of Creative Arts
Aug 2013 - Jul 2016Canterbury, United Kingdom
I graduated from University with a 2:1 Bachelor of Arts BA degree that qualified me to start work at Airfield Design as a Junior Designer. My University course was a broad course covering many aspects of design and mediums; including print, web, legibility, typefaces and the importance of imagery and symbolism. My lectures at UCA gave me the opportunity to examine tasks with the ultimate use of design freedom. This allowed me to pursue my talents and attempt my own approach to projects to help define me as a designer.
