A London based Graphic Designer and Illustrator who is a creative

and logical thinker curious of how things are made, with this curiosity

translating into a passion for developing my skills and practice. Having

an enthusiastic and flexible approach to the process of design, I believe

in creating intelligent and clear visual communication and strong

concept driven work. By keeping my interests in illustration separate

for freelance and personal projects, a fresh outlook is given with each

project helping fuel my transferable and adaptable set of skills. I am

currently looking for a junior designer or intern position in a London

based multi-disciplinary studio.
