About Me


I graduated in summer 2020 from The University of Brighton, with a First Class Honours degree studying on the Graphic Design BA (Hons) course.

Previously I did my Level 4 Art and Design Foundation Diploma at Falmouth University in Cornwall, finishing the year with a Distinction.

As a designer, I enjoy working with a variety of medium to produce meaningful outcomes. I particularly like to work with juxtapositions – contrasting bold colours and textures with clean layout design.

Books and branding are the main things that I find myself drawn to within the design industry. I enjoy the aesthetic outcomes that are produced within these fields, and it is very satisfying to see your work materialise and influence others. 

Since graduating I have worked for a couple of design agencies, constantly expanding upon my knowledge and experience within the industry. I am currently working as a Midweight Designer at J2 in London.
