I am currently a university student at Salford working towards a degree in graphic design. I pride myself on how I’m always driven to inspire and innovate with every project, constantly seeking new approaches to push the boundaries of design where required but I still love the foundations of design. I have a passion for creating appropriate and impactful solutions that solve problems and add value. I believe that design is a collaborative process and that the best design results come from a team of people working together to create something special. Working together to combine diverse perspectives and ideas allows us to create something unique, something that stands out from the crowd. I have developed skills in all Microsoft software and Adobe apps, such as Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator and Procreate which I utilise throughout my education and am constantly seeking to improve and develop. However, I pride myself the most on my problem-solving abilities and the passion to look at problems from new creative angles, always seeking something new and innovative but still appropriate
