About me
Originally from Suffolk, I was always keen to pursue a future with sport, however I also had a strong passion for design. Design won. I chose to pursue a creative future whilst continuing with my sports passion in my free time!
Growing up, I played cricket for Suffolk. I had dreamed of playing for England however my creative drive took over and the dream of being the England captain was replaced with being a Creative Director.
​
With my love for sport, I have a keen interest in the brand identities for sports brands such as Nike and Gymshark, as well as the design of sports clothing and equipment. In addition to this, I have an evolving interest in games design and I am keen to learn more about the games design industry.
​
Although not my specialism, I find that my work is inspired by interior design and games design.
My approach to design is constantly evolving. As a student I aimed to tackle a variation of creative briefs to constantly push myself out of my creative comfort zone and expand my creativity and skills. I find that I am drawn to contemporary and minimalist graphic design, however I also enjoy retrospective and typographic work.
I am a motivated designer, who aims for a successful career within the design industry. I would love to progress the skills that I have gained during my time at University by working in the industry as part of a varied and talented team of creatives.

For this I continued to work with the marketing interns to ensure that the content, as well as the design, was successfully targeted towards the audience and also followed the brand guidelines.
