A Bit
About Me

My work is centred around the philosophy of 'design for good', working predominantly with companies across health, lifestyle and education to create positive change in people's lives. From improving health outcomes to making education and sport more accessible, I find purpose in design that makes a difference, alongside supporting and mentoring the next generation of creatives.
