MY STORY.
As soon as I discovered design I knew that was what I wanted to do with my life, with some great mentors along the way and graduating with a Graphic Design degree from University of Creative Arts. I landed my first design job working at Nature Publishing Group which is where the foundations of my commercial design skills were formed. I designed marketing campaigns, emails, microsites even did a stint working over in New York. After a great run in the Marking team, I then transferred to the web team, where I diversified my skill set further designing websites, apps, delving into the world of UX and Agile methodologies.
Since then I have been lucky enough to work with some real forward thinking agencies and brands and produced some work Im really proud of. I cant imagine my life without being a designer now I absolutely thrive on the problem solving aspect and am always on the look out for my next challenge.
