About

I'm a determined, resourceful and articulate student who has just completed their 3rd year at the University of South Wales, for which I was awarded an Upper Second Class Honours in (BA) Graphic Communication. During my studies I have improved my creative thought process, as well as improving my mixed media and digital software skills in Adobe Creative Suite. University has built my confidence in understanding the importance of design, and how using creativity to solve problems is something I enjoy and I'm passionate about. This has lead to pursuing a career in graphic design, to work and be surrounded by like minded individuals. I have found myself experimenting with motion graphics and animation in more of my work to bring life to my ideas and solutions, which sets me apart from many of my peers who work mostly in more static, traditional styles. Throughout education I have developed and refined my skills within the core Adobe Creative Suite software, as well as implementing my own set of skills and interests such as drone photography and videography, hand held camera photography and videography as well as flat animation in my work. My interests reflect my desire to learn and improve myself in any sort of capacity and to further educate myself, with my primary interests being the desire for adventure, reading and photography/videography. Reading allows me to build my creativity, as well as keep my vocabulary robust and diverse, which is needed especially in my industry of design communication. It also allows me to analyse data and information at a more rapid pace, well suited for fast environments such as the design field. My purchase of a DJI Mavic Pro drone allows me to pursue my need for adventure and explore my skills of visual storytelling and photographic/video interests as it allows me to explore different viewpoints and perspectives, all the while fulfilling my desire to show people ways of seeing and experiencing things from another angle that would not normally be seen through regular photography or video processes.
