I am fascinated by the expression of ideas, and the human need to be understood. My degree and career to date have embraced the nitty-gritty of this expression: visual and verbal communication. A love of language has led me to take Latin classes as well as fuelling a passion for typography. The intricate and challenging expression of ideas in books, films, and other media excites and inspires me.My work includes design, branding, promotional materials, websites and small-scale animations; I am experienced working in graphic design studios, small teams and institutions. I am completely at home using Microsoft Office, Adobe's Creative Suite, TerminalFour Solutions, and very happy designing and building bespoke CMS sites in Wordpress.I also have great interest and foundational training in counselling skills.
