About Me
I am a designer and First Class Honours graduate of the BA (Hons) Design course at Goldsmiths University of London. I am often driven by how design can be used to influence social change and I constantly search for challenges to apply my multidisciplinary design knowledge to. This has led to my current role as a creative in advertising.
Working in advertising has aided me in developing a multidisciplinary working style spanning graphic design, UI/UX, copywriting, and creative ideation. However, my biggest passion lies in printed matter. A majority of my work is rooted in how graphic design and the medium of print can be used to give a voice to marginalised communities or bring attention to important yet frequently overlooked issues. Aside from this, I still identify as a creative chameleon and am always open to learning and exploring new areas of design.
