I am a final year BA (Hons) Graphic Design student with a background in oil painting, having received the Willian Award for Creative Arts. I am currently based in Manchester. Over the previous summer, I expanded my artistic practice by painting murals for local businesses and working on commissions, experiences that deepened my understanding of visual storytelling and client collaboration. My painting journey has been instrumental in shaping my graphic design approach, blending traditional techniques with a contemporary style. These experiences have allowed me to refine my skills in composition, colour theory and spatial design, enriching my work as a graphic design student. I have a strong passion for illustration and branding projects. As I enter my final year, I am excited to continue evolving, combining my passion for both art and design in future projects.
