About me
Hi. I am a designer living in Manchester, UK. I like bright colours, direct messages, and simple shapes. I am a hard working, passionate designer and I love motion graphics as well as print.I am also a PhD student at the moment, studying graphic design and how it can effect stigma towards mental illness. I do this part time, and freelance flexibly around my studies.
I take great pride in my work and enjoy problem solving. As an experienced worker, I have well rounded life experience – I was a police officer for 13 years before turning my hand to design!
I love projects for good causes – why not make the world a better place through colour, image and word? This can come in the form of charities, non-profits, social change causes or simply a brand that is environmentally friendly and ethical.
