I am a graphic designer specialising in publishing, based in Norwich and London. Throughout university I have worked on different creative briefs to develop a portfolio of varied work, from creating books and magazines to typeface design. From completing a degree in Publishing and a Level 5 Diploma, these have emphasised the importance of learning from those around you and to take creative risks.

The university has pushed me to do things out of my comfort zone and learn skills beyond my course, such as working on photoshoots.

Furthermore, during two years at university, I ran a weekly Life Drawing sessions for students, learning how to organise and run events.

My final projects at university have included: creating experimental typeface designs and applying it to type specifications, book cover series design and redesigning existing books for new audiences.
