Profile

I continued into sixth form, then completed a Btech National Diploma in Art and Design. The year I spent at college I discovered Graphic Design. I went on the study the subject at Demontfort University in Lincoln, graduating in 2002 with a First Class honours degree.

I have worked in graphic design ever since, over twenty 22 years now, 12 of which I have been successfully freelance with my own small business. I work predominantly with printed materials and design magazines and brochures as well as corporate identities.
