About me
I am an aspiring designer based in London. I am currently studying BA (Hons) Motion Graphics at Ravensbourne College of Design and Communication. Having studied art and design for the majority of my educational years, I have had the freedom to experiment with the idea of visual communication whilst still being able to expand my creative vision. To me, design is a form of expression. With each task I take on, I learn something new about myself. I am a perfectionist in my own right, and I take every aspect of my work into consideration. My specialism is now moving towards motion graphics. I have the skills it takes to create visually compelling work and can transfer these skills to both print and moving image. Some of my recent work includes title sequence design, channel branding, typographic design, cross media campaigns, advertising, info-graphics and promotional design.

Projects
  • QWERTYThe brief was to create a manifesto for the Debate and Polemic unit. This is where I put my copywriting skills into play. I co=wrote the piece in a poetic format. The concept was to motivate aspiring design students to use traditional methods of design as opposed to digital mediums.
  • The Bell Jar Title Sequence
    The Bell Jar Title SequenceThe brief was to explore typographical design in title sequences. I decided to create the sequence for one of my favourite books: The Bell Jar. I wanted to encapsulate the lead characters distorted thoughts and slow descent into madness.
  • The Lovely Bones Title Sequence
    The Lovely Bones Title SequenceThe brief was to create a visual piece of work, exploring the importance of typographic design. I decided to create a title sequence for the film The Lovely Bones.
Work history
    Runner
     - 
    I worked as a runner during my time at Rushes Post Production. Responsibilities included picking up food from various restaurants around Soho, delivering parcels/paperwork internally around the building and externally around Soho and clearing Visual Effect Suites. I was also given the opportunity to participate in demonstrations and shadow designers in different areas of post production. I was able to see first-hand how a busy post production company functions and how all the departments and areas of the company inter-relate and function.
