A bit about me
I am a very passionate and enthusiastic designer, working over numerous kinds of media, such as print,
branding and advertising. My appreciation of contemporary culture informs my approach to
graphic design and illustration dipping into street art, extreme sports, and music to inject my work with
edgy and modern aspects. I have developed on my well-honed software skills to produce more creative
and less formulaic outcomes. Also I am able to work well on my own as well as in a group,
i can demonstrate the high levels of motivation required to meet the tightest of deadlines, even under
significant pressure I possess a strong ability to perform effectively.

I am currently looking to build on my extensive knowledge and range of theory and practical skills,
with a suitable challenging role as a junior but open minded to paid work placements.
I am keen to achieve further professional development within the design sector.
