ADHD - Adabhand Design

Cheltenham, United Kingdom
A passionate, curious, dedicated, & ambitious young Professional, that takes avid interest in the world around him, & believes the greatest thing in life is to learn.

I'm a logical, systematic thinker that provides highly creative original solutions, by gaining an understanding of the consumer, & then discovering an insight that creates a vivid communication that resonates with the audience.

I pride myself on being a perfectionist, & believe that the detail is everything. I also firmly believe that design is about taking educated, informed risks, that provide not only solutions, but ideas that break the convention, and suggest new ways of thinking.

The little time left outside of a Graphic Designer’s working life, you’ll find me riding around the countryside on my bicycle, in which you’ll still never find me that far away from some sort of apple
