The Arts & Culture Journal

What’s your favourite environment in which to work?

A bright, happy and very musical one. Music, music, music, it plays a huge part in my life and when I have good stuff to listen to, it makes me inspired to work and try out new ways of designing. I tend to carry a notebook with me, and jot down ideas I have been inspired with, so different environments, I may have been in, often carry inspiration for my designs.

What are the overall themes and messages you try to incorporate in your work?

This can change from project to project really, but whatever project I encounter I look at it in a fresh and exciting way.

What other mediums do you like using?

As well as Graphic design, I love art, photography and illustration.This is because of my education in doing courses in Foundation art, photography and interior décor. Using all various types of mediums in the past has stuck with me throughout, so I love nothing better than getting ideas for briefs and cutting and pasting pages out of magazines, painting and scanning images or doodling, as I feel it gives a richer look to the final printed design. 

What challenges you?

A challenging brief. Although it can seem daunting at first, once I’ve got an idea, from that more ideas progress and it makes me satisfied. I don’t think I’d be happy if all the projects I worked on weren’t challenging, as it wouldn’t get my creativity flowing. 

When you’re not designing how do you like to spend your time?

I love nothing better than to chill out with some music, taking walks on the beach,
