WHO I AM

EAT/SLEEP/DREAM DESIGN

I am a Graphic Designer, Typographer and a moonlighting Photographer from the Lake District in Cumbria. Since graduating with a BA (Hons) in Graphic Design at the University of Cumbria, Graphic Design has increasingly become my self-confessed obsession. Enthused by my passion, I constantly familiarise myself with innovative design trends through systematic design research. Much inspiration has been drawn from art and design publications, organisational bodies and art groups, museums and art galleries, graphic design practitioners, art and design magazine and online research resources.

Favorite TV Shows:

Not many, but i'm a massive fan of books (these are only a few):

Sagmeister: Made You Look - Another Self-indulgent Design Monograph by Peter Hall, How to Be a Graphic Designer: Without Losing Your Soul by Adrian Shaughnessy, G1: New Dimensions in Graphic Design by Neville Brody & Lewis Blackwell, 1000 Graphic Elements: Special Details for Distinctive Designs by W.

Favorite Artist:

Shinro Ohtake as he explores the modern psyche through layers of complex impressions and notions. Creating layers of masterful communication, multiple answers and creative solutions. Using traditional forms of imagery, combining with modern printing processes. Marie Fredriksson, the most inspirationally talented woman whose art work and musical artistry reflects so much emotion; giving insight into the hardest times helping remove doubts, anxieties and fears. Giving hope.
