About Me:
I was born in Brighton in 1992 and have
lived in the immediate vicinity since,
studying Art and Design. Im recently
studied Graphic Design at Middlesex
University. I soon discovered and indulgedin my love for creating books, and all it
encompasses; grids, typography and
formatting type, layout, composition, and
print. By utilising these skills, I developed
a wide range of projects, varied in focus
and subject matter. Many of my projects
sought to preserve the environment in
some way. Since graduatation, Ive been
working on several projects. These include
developing fundraising material for an
environmental campaigner to gain rst
hand experience in Ghana, and developing
my knowledge of web design.
Experience/Achievements:

on my art & design nal project at Sussex

RSA Student Design Awards 2014
Tit le:
One Drop Water Conservation
Overview:
In an effort to help save fresh water
on a national scale I proposed a
service that would help to mitigate
unnecessary water contamination
by providing a new method of waste
disposal to the public. This system
utilises a variety of containers and
includes a new hazard classification
symbol: water pollution.
My first page introduces the idea of asymbol to help consumers determine
whe the r a produc t i s po ten tia lly
hazardous if it enters the sewers.

I decided I should get involved with

seeking official charity status, they
are quite well known in my town and
receive regular donations, however my
aim was ultimately to make them more
accessible and recognisable to those
looking to adopt a cat.
