Summary

Creative and expressive Graphic Designer recently graduated from Stockport College, with a year of freelance experience on Upwork. I specialise in typography-led design with a strong focus on posters, branding, UI/UX, illustration, and logo creation. My design style blends minimalism with playful and abstract elements, reflecting a modern and versatile aesthetic. Passionate about visual storytelling, I aim to craft bold and thoughtful designs that connect with people and stand out in both digital and print media.
