My background
I am a British graphic designer living and working in Amstedam.
I have been working as a graphic designer for the last 12 years, started in London and now continueing in Amsterdam. I have experience in print, motion and interactive design. I see myself as design who can jump between disciplines, I can think in time based motion narratives. Equally I can design for internet, creating user experiences, and then back to basics, designing for print.
I am based in the heart of Amsterdam at Vijzelstraat Duintjer CS.
Education and overseas study
I have studied for a Masters degree in graphic design at Royal college of art and Bachelor of arts degree at Brighton school of art.
During my study period, I took part in student exchange programmes, to Warsaw art academy to study poster art of Henryk Tomaszewski, and Barcelona school of art and Cranbrook art academy in the US.
Art
The themes in my work are about identity, language, and the mixing of cultures, I use bright colours, calligraphy, and typography.
