Experienced graphic designer, animator, and music producer, graduating in 2023 with a first-class Graphic Communication Design degree from Central St Martins. Alongside my natural capabilities and passion for music production, I have a proven track record of delivering professional, high-value, and engaging motion and graphic content. My graphic experience involves designing visual and audible identities for companies, brands, and products, most recently within the NFC market. Musically, I have produced tracks for over 200 international artists, as well as collaborating on larger projects with like-minded artists and external agencies.
I am now looking for a role that combines my experience in strategy, design, and marketing with my love for music. I am a diligent and dedicated worker, determined to execute every project to a very high standard. I thrive in environments surrounded by budding creatives such as myself and am driven to succeed within a competitive industry.
