About

Hello - I am an adaptable designer and maker who enjoys working as part of a creative team. As a technically-minded individual (who is happy helping set the team up on office printers/scanners/ networks), I aim to progress into an assistant art director or graphic designer role. Between TV projects I continue to work as a freelance graphic designer and theatre technician.
