“Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do so”

My three years at university have taught me so much about myself and my work. I have developed an abundance of happiness and opportunity throughout the three years and can’t wait to develop these wonderful experiences further.
As a Graphic Designer and Illustrator, I really enjoy working with different textures and prints, combing hand drawn illustrations with digital editing and collage. Being joint Honours I like to experiment and combine the two styles. I thoroughly enjoy trying out new techniques and experimenting within my work. This is because it allows me to be free and open to new ideas and possibilities. This also allows me to gain a wide collection of skills and produce a good range of artwork. I have learnt I work best under tight deadlines (like the 24h Pressure Projects); the adrenaline and commitment have seen me create some of my best work as it sparks more spontaneity and instinct.
I’ve had some of the best experiences whilst at university ranging from real life clients and briefs, pitching to a board and entering many competitions. These experiences have given me a taste for work in the real world and I can’t wait.
