I'm Esme, truly captivated by the creative industry and the power to influence minds through art and design.
I love to challenge my own ability as a designer and gain a greater understanding of the world, the people in it and the problems we all face. Constantly thriving from conversation and insight into deeper knowledge pools, whilst being inspired through the creativity of the individuals around me.
At the age of 5 when I was asked what I wanted to be when I was older, my response was either a lightbulb to brighten up peoples lives or the President.. (Thankfully I have moved on from this.)
However in a way I think I haven't changed from little five year old me. As both a person and a designer, I am someone who wants to make an impact whether thats in a simple way or through a great understanding and managerial attitude to a problem. Either way I want to understand individuals and make a difference through doing something that I love and which I believe holds a huge element of both passion and power.
