Personal Statement

I recently graduated with First Class Honours in Graphic Design from Kingston University. I generate ideas to solve problems; I enjoy the whole process from the ‘pained expression’ to the ‘wash’ of a great idea. My area of special interest is typography in both analogue and digital forms. I enjoy concept work and believe that discussion based research produces unique insights and stronger outcomes.
