Through my degree in BA (Hons) Design for Publishing at Norwich University of the Arts, I have learnt relevant skills in Adobe software, design, layout, art working, BLAD and formatting, creative ideas generation as well as working in a team, time management and communication. I specialise in typographic layout and books. My work is often more traditional leaning with a heavy focus on translating an overall feeling or mood through the design.

I love working with complex sets of information and text, either in book covers or layout design. I was awarded the 2024 Student Union award for ‘Outstanding Contribution to Inclusion, Equity and Diversity’ for my work bettering the university and union throughout my time at Norwich.
