When leaving high school I applied for a course in art and design at Newcastle college (NSCG) with only having minimal knowledge of graphic design from doing media studies at high school. I quickly fell in love with the idea seeing my own design work out in the world through OOH and digital media.

I decided to follow this strong passion and applied to Staffordshire university for a course in graphic design. I developed my graphic design skills finding a love for typography with the help of one of my lecturers Jim Williams - Author of ‘Type Matters!’ I Graduated University securing a FIRST CLASS in graphic design. Just a few months after I got an apprenticeship at Michelin with NSCG.

This apprenticeship taught me how to put my graphic skills into practice, improved my time management, how to plan events, run campaigns, analyse social media data and much more. I achieved a distinction in this apprenticeship and look to put the new skills I have learnt into practice with a team of likeminded people.
