'I have always been visual and learnt through experience. My A levels comprised of Art, Economics, Physics and Maths; in my view the foundations to graphic design which I then studied at University.
My design skills and ideas-led nature have since led me down a path of business ventures, freelance, start-ups, London design agencies, and a Creative Director position. My appreciation lies within the application of tactful creativity expanding across any form of design fuelled by strategic influence.'
