I am a creative and hardworking designer who strives to create imaginative concepts throughout my work. Spending four years on the Graphic and Communication Design course at Leeds has helped me broaden my skillset and become an ambitious graphic designer. I have found that combining my skills in graphic design and illustration has led to some visually interesting and surprising results, and is far beyond what I thought I could achieve from the outset. This course has led me towards an interest in historical examples of design that have had a cultural and societal impact, and can be seen within my body of work.

The two projects shown here demonstrate my interests and personal values. ‘Get Rational!’ is a project focused on engaging young people to promote a sustainable lifestyle through home-growing fruit and vegetables. It uses the ideology of the second world war – that of food rationing and home-grown produce – with a visual style to match. ‘Resist!’ is an activist publication brand influenced by mid-nineteenth century counterculture ideology and design. With the first issue focused on the replacement of traditional religion with modern consumerism, the brand utilizes guerrilla protest tactics to advertise and engage a rising young audience.
