I am a graduate from the University of Portsmouth, awarded a first degree in Communication Design.
I specialise in print, although I enjoy all areas of design. I strive to find creative and original solutions, applying conceptual weight to each project I undertake, utilising the finishing methods and mediums best suited to deliver maximum impact. I am compelled by all areas of language and how it can be visualised, aiming to challenge the viewers perception and understanding.
I am currently working as a graphic designer at ilovedust.

The reverse of the map comes with an introduction to the map & origins of the name 'Pompey', as well as the alphabetical index of the mapped dialect's translations. The map is printed in a navy pantone on a cool grey paper (120gsm weight), chosen to enhance the map's vintage reference. The paper is size A1 (85 x 60 cm).
The map is available for purchase at £39 (plus £4.95 p&p).
