More About Me.
Since leaving university in 2023, I have applied for and taken part
in a number of internships in London and Plymouth, including
an extended, in-house freelance role at Brand Biscuit Studio.
This experience has allowed me to develop my skills
as a multi-disciplinary designer and enhance my knowledge
of the Full Adobe Creative Suite, whilst also learning how to
operate and add value in a studio environment.
​
I recently relocated to London after living in Plymouth for four
years through university and beginning my career in branding.
​
I graduated from Plymouth University in the summer of 2023
with a BA Hons in Graphic Design & Communications.

BrandBiscuit Studio
Internship - Freelance
Junior Designer
While attending Arts University Plymouth and participating
in a student internship scheme run by Plymouth Design Forum,
I got to know Christina from BrandBiscuit Studio.
I developed close bonds with the studio's designers as a result,
and Christina offered me a long-term freelancing job there when
I graduated. I have worked on a variety of branding projects during
my time there, all of which have focused heavily on brand strategy DNA. This has helped me think fast and come up with powerful
ideas from brief to research and final design.

Prosepkt contacted me while I was working as a freelance designer
and made an offer of a full-time junior designer position. I mostly worked on motion graphics and print-based projects throughout my time here for Jack Daniels, El Jimador and Chambord.

Upshot Design Studio
Internship
I made a concerted effort to get in touch with several local studios shortly after graduating from university, which is how I met Owen from Upshot Design. He offered me an internship that lasted just over a month after we met. I mostly assisted in rethinking branding and packaging briefs throughout my time here.

Dell'anno Studio
Internship
While networking at university, Dell'anno Studio offered me an internship chance for after I graduated. This was a sprint internship in branding and identity design, with each week focussing on a different brand project and developing ideas that would later be presented to clients. This internship helped me speed up my creative brainstorming process while also teaching me basic design principles for creating exceptional designs.

James Edgar Studio
Dell'anno Studio
BrandBiscuit Studio
Student Intern
I entered the mentorship programme during my third year of university, and Darren Foley, founder of FLY, became my mentor. This helped gain the opportunity to work within three studios for a month while creating my final design project for university. This was part of the first Plymouth Design Forum student internship programme.
​
I was able to swiftly acquire a deep understanding of the dynamics of several studios and learn how to collaborate with multiple teams simultaneously thanks to this. In addition to developing strong creative abilities in strategy, creative direction and design. I was also given the chance to present my ideas several times to creative directors.
