I’m an award winning third year graphic design student at the
Cambridge School of Arts, but this isn’t what makes me stand out.
I stand out because I’ve shown the ability and the tenacity to
take on over several clients on a freelance basis.
This real experience has enabled me to actively connect my
education with real, live projects, which not only has developed
my graphic design skills but also helped me gain valuable client
management skills.
I’m a focused, self-motivating individual with a strong work
ethic. I always approach every assignment with passion, enthusiasm
and focus which has been recognised through my YCN Student Award
(http://education.ycnonline.com/student/) for my work on the Graze
Competition Brief.
As a digital native I’ve excelled in using complex design
packages. My education and endless hours of experimenting now
mean I’m confident and proficient in the Adobe Creative Suites,
particularly InDesign, Photoshop and Illustrator.
Outside the world of design I’m a big fan of extreme sports and
I’m proud to say that I have worked with a few big names within
the industry already (Identiti Bikes, Halo Wheels & TSG). I know
where I’m going, I’m seeking to secure a position to build the
foundation of my career within a sports organisation where I can
not only bring my graphic design knowledge, but to also develop my
current skill set further.

Although I am training to be a graphic designer I have had other part-time and
full time jobs. But my main focus has been freelance jobs to help me get a
headstart of what it will be like to work with clients in the working world.
Freelance Graphic DesignerJanuary 2009 - Present
-
While begining my Foundation Degree in Graphic
Design at UCMK I took it upon myself to gain work
and a client base to give me that extra knowledge of
working with proper clients when it came to finishing
my degree.
Stockroom Assistant (Argos)November 2010 - January 2011 (Christmas temp)
-
When working at Argos as a Christmas temp I joined
the stockroom team which involved me collecting
items and delivering them to the store front
as quick as possible. This required serious
concentration when retrieving the item as the stock
room was so large. I also worked on the collection
counter dealing with customers and any help they
might need.
Assembly Engineer (Pericom PLC)May 2008 - August 2008
-
For this job I was assembling electronic rateboards
that can be found in a number of places such as HSBC
and Post Office. The job required a lot of patience
and concentration, along with a lot of teamwork
to meet the large target that we had been given.
In 2 months we produced 800 working rateboards.
With this large target and short deadline I found
myself working very hard and determined to meet the
deadline. I also worked extra hours to complete the
order.
Red Bull Racing (School Work Experience)February 2007
-
When working at the famous Red Bull Racing factory
for my school work experience I participated in a
number of different activities and jobs. My main job
during the week was to final check parts that were
going to be sent out to the Formula 1 race. This
required an eye for detail to spot any marks or
weaknesses of the car part. I was also introduced to
the work of carbon fibre. After learning how parts
were made I was offered the chance to produce my own
part without assistance. I jumped at the chance
and made myself a Formula 1 car nose cap which I
currently still have.

This project was to create a multi-page document on any subject of our choice.
The only requirement was it had to be a minimum of 12 page spreads. As I travel
a lot to the Lake District with my parents and my girlfriend and her family I
thought it would be really cool to document some of my walks and show people the
journeys I go on. This is how I came to create a photographic journal.

This was my entry for the national design competition held by YCN (ycnonline.com).
There were a number of briefs to choose and I chose the Graze brief where I was to
redesign the logo, redesign their box and create a direct mailer campaign. I was one
of a few to be commended for my work and will be in the 2011/12 YCN Awards annual.

My book ‘stoked.’ is my final major project from my foundation degree course. Being
a local photographer at Woburn Jump spot I wanted to encompass the atmosphere and
skills of the riders there in a book. The book was made not only to appeal to those
who are aware of the sport of dirt jumping but also to those unaware and gauge their
interest in it which it seemed I achieved on the night of our exhibition.

As well as graphic design I am an avid photographer. I like to try and integrate them
both together in my course projects and utilise my skills. I have had my images used
by various companies in the biking world such as TSG and Identiti Bikes.
