Bloomsbury Publishing asked me to illustrate a header for their Writers & Artists webpage, and my design is now live on their website:

My story
In January 2024 I decided to begin my graphic design journey. As a child I adored illustrating and typography, now post-university I’ve rediscovered my younger self’s connection to art, falling in love with graphic design. From typography and colour to layout and illustrations, weaving ideas into a visual design gives me the chance to evoke emotions, tell stories and connect with people. Graphic design is, to me, more than just about aesthetics; it's a powerful tool for communication and that's what truly (and literally) draws me to it.
What I do
Interpreting a vision and translating it into a clear, effective design, using Adobe’s Illustrator and Procreate as my go-to tools. Creating posters, branding, mock-ups and logos are all parts of the design process I enjoy most. My passion for typography and illustration comes through in my hand-drawn elements and adds personal touches to my designs, making each logo not only functional but also full of personality.
Who I am
Outside of design, I love getting creative in the kitchen, trying new recipes and exploring different flavours. I joke that cooking is my therapy, but it really does calm me and gives me a sense of fulfilment, especially when I can share my meals with friends and family. Music is another passion of mine, whether I’m listening to my favourite musicians, playing guitar, or singing. I also thrive on spending quality time with friends and traveling to new places, as these experiences fuel my creativity and broaden my perspective, adding new layers to my work and life.
