Bright and enthusiastic!
Best way to describe both myself and as a Designer.

I am meticulous with a love of layout. Great spatial thinker with an eye for detail. Seeing design as a way to communicate, creating graphic simplicity.

In a nutshell, I love what I do. Design.

Undertaking a three year course in Graphic Design, at Kingston Unversity. Surround by like minded people, super talentent lectures, I built a portfolio and found a love for design.

I was part of the final degree show ; step trip step, showing a live project I took on with a enviromental fashion designer, together we launched '15, A New Wasteline', I took on the pre and post design of the three-day event. creating a brand, and a short campaign film.

Kingston Unversity is both engaging and creativly free. I shifited my design stance to be driven by open-minded creation. Collaboration is key - observe, learn, make.
