“All the lessons of invention come down to this: The best design tool is a long eraser with a pencil at one end.”
― Marty Neumeier
Three years ago, I wisely made the decision to
venture off to University, to delay living in ’the
real world’… Little did I know it was my first huge
step into exactly that. Eventually I prepared
myself to face challenges and balance my time
between Graphic Design and fending for myself,
and as a result I only turned two white woolly
items pink – to my advantage my colour theory
is much stronger now.
In terms of design style, I define myself as
an illustrative, simplistic designer with a love
for applying a minimalistic approach where
appropriate. For two years also studied
Illustration as a Joint Honours student, which
enabled me to develop across two areas of the
creative industry, meaning my experimentation
skills are strong. An example of combining my
skills can be seen in my children’s book cover
re-design concept ‘Burglar Bill’.
Working part-time as a Graphic Designer for
Worcester Students’ Union as well as remotely
for the University has had a very strong impact
on my skillset as a whole. I have learnt to work
very quickly and efficiently while also leaving
myself enough time to freelance and expand
my client range and portfolio.
