I have created 60% of the company’s bestselling personalised products, and customise them to order. My skill lies in having a good eye for composition and attention to detail (proof reading and double-checking layout for print). My work is varied and includes personalised posters, character illustrations, promotional material and more. I bring clients’ personality into every print, liaising with customers to adjust the designs and completing orders on the same day.My inspiration comes from fashion trends and homeware (e.g. colour and form), working with the company owners to fit with the brand identification, and training others in adhering to the visual style.

Designing for TKO meant channelling goodwill through my work. Because of the strong brand identity, my work focused on remixing existing art. I would prepare advertising, posters and leaflet files for print and web, following strict guidelines and style consistency for use in various media.I am most proud of my role in decorating the Kinder bus (TKO’s mascot and repurposed vintage Routemaster). I collaborated with the founders to design 1950s and 60s posters for the inside. This project… Show more Designing for TKO meant channelling goodwill through my work.

Volunteering on a ad-hoc basis at Performing Productions was about creativity on a budget, balancing visual spectacle with simplicity to target the family market. Armed with only an old school printer and guillotine, I created an eye-catching pamphlet which received an overwhelming positive response from target groups; increasing attendance to the advertised workshops. Due to the pamphlet’s success, I was tasked with designing a festival banner for professional print.

I was involved in designing UI and UX for an appointment booking application on Android. The lead designer handed me a flowchart of how the application worked. From this I created sets of wireframes. By creating many iterations, testing and filming user’s interactions with the paper prototype I improved design of the wireframes, and then repeated testing and iteration to create a more streamlined experience for users.

I was Taaime Online Studios’ creative all-rounder; designing graphics, UI, and concept art. We had strict deadlines because being an online studio, time zone differences had the knock-on effect of snowballing delays.My most treasured moment was re-vamping the Kickstarter campaign, where I created graphics for the page in the style of the game. This doubled the number of backers. Based on this success, I became the backbone of the company’s for-hire software design team.

Cat Dash: pixel art side-scroller for mobile.When I joined, work had already begun. Making use of the designer’s placeholder art and concepts I created sprites, animation, and environments. This game’s style – pixel art – is one I had never tried before; I quickly adapted to it.

This project was to create a real time strategy game for a mobile platform, themed on bacteria. I worked as part of a team of three, setting ourselves deadlines to complete tasks every week in order to encourage clear goals and discuss progress. I would map out ideas for each level’s design and generate concepts for character art which would be built upon using feedback from the rest of the team

I rigged characters and created a tool using Python to aid a rigger’s building process in Maya. The tool was made to create ‘control shapes’ for the rigger: they were able to name, scale, and change the colour of the ‘control shapes’ for the crucial joints for the mesh.

Working in a team of six (artists, a designer/producer, and programmer) we created a short, point-and-click adventure game called Brass. I worked with three other artists, and I was tasked with creating environment art. I produced concepts for the backgrounds and then refined them in order to create the final game environments.

This project’s aim was to create a piece of interactive media, which I chose to make into a ‘choose your own adventure’ game. I based the story on ‘Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland” by Lewis Carroll, in which the player’s decisions alter the story. I created concept, environment, and character art which were put together and made into a game using Adobe Flash Professional.
