I aspire to inspire, and want to leave my mark on the world through ideas and visuals
My journey began when I was 14, ambitious and motivated to make it big as a gamer on YouTube. To seperate myself from the competition I had to make sure that my visuals reflected my drive to succeed, which led to my first encounter with Photoshop and graphic design.
After months of self teaching, online resources and simple trial and error, something clicked. I had developed a love for the craft and had a newfound firey passion for graphic design and found work within various online gaming communities and esports organisations at the age of 16.
The past 7 years has been a culmination of my experiences through self learning, working in high pressure and extremely volatile environments, and the pursuit of a graphic communications degree.

EXPERIENCE 🎨
Junior Graphic Designer - MK21
MK21 is a digital-first creative agency based in the heart of Milton Keynes.
I am currently one of four designers in the creative team working and assisting on various new and ongoing projects. Since joining the MK21 team, we have been able to take on more animation work due to my previous self-taught experience. The inclusion of animation has helped create more long lasting engagement for our client’s social media posts.

Junior Graphic Designer - HJU Creative
One week of work experience at HJU Creative, a local design business created by a previous graduate, focusing on branding, print and social media.
Worked and assisted on various ongoing projects and handing communications between HJU Creative and their clientele. This experience helped shaped my view on self employment, as well as giving me a proper taste of handing multiple different projects throughout a work day, which has improved my communication, decision making and time management.
