About Me
I am a 24-year-old graphic designer originally from South-east England but now residing in Berlin, since graduating from Lincoln School of Graphic Design in 2010. I specialise as a print based designer, although I enjoy working with all media and would not want to narrow myself down to just one field.
Experience
onlab
I am currently working at onlab in Berlin. Where I have been involved in developing the concept and design for a variety of editorial and promotional projects.
YCN
After winning the YCN student award in 2009 I was lucky enough to spend two weeks working with their team. I was involved in projects for a variety of clients, including a pitch for Arsenal Football Club.
Iris Associates
I spent two weeks at Iris in Sheffield working on a branding pitch for The UK City Of Culture. The presentation went very well and we won the pitch over two other agencies.
BMB
I gained a placement at BMB Luton in my final year of college. Where I spent two weeks working on a re-brand for Build Base.
