I graduated from Bath Spa University in 1998 with a degree in Graphic Design. For the final two years of my three-year course I specialised in illustration – and I’ve been pretty much drawing ever since! Although I followed a classic academic design route, my early career was anything but! Eventually, whilst doing some part-time work at Bonfire way back in 2007, I felt I had finally found the place for me.I was working part-time at the agency whilst studying for an HND in Graphic Design (filling in some of the blanks from university as a result of my specialism in illustration there). Once that was completed in 2007, I joined full time. My workload now is probably a 50:50 split between pure illustration briefs and graphic design briefs. I work across all the agency’s brands but particularly like those jobs where the output is seeing something I’ve designed or drawn on a shelf or on a poster when I’m out and about.Specialties: illustration, typography, art direction, concept development, graphic design, visual communication, creative strategyApproach: collaborative, supportive, creative, analytical
