What makes me, me?
I am a positive, outgoing thinker who likes to push the boundaries of topics and outcomes I can achieve within design. I rely heavily on research into trends and issues that are happening now in order to achieve a concept that will be a valuable asset to our future.
I am also particularly interested in inclusivity/social design as seen in my past project ‘new tip’ where I focused on raising awareness and breaking down social stereotypes of children with Dyslexia being less than their peers in the education system. With all my projects I keep my focus with the user and ensure that I provide true value to the user experience.
