Design experience:
I have been designing for friends and family for around 3 years , but of course I have been designing for a lot longer than that, if you include all of my studies. I decided to set up my own freelance business, ekgraphics, last year . which is doing very well, having had some great clients like O2 academy Oxford, and Funky House brands Twilo, Pacha and Promised. And I am in the process of booking in a CD Album artwork with a top international DJ in the Hard Dance scene.

Educational background:
I always loved art and studied it at GSCE and for A level and then did I did an Art foundation course. This led me on to studying a Graphic Design degree at uni.

Current work status:
I am available for booking in client work.

Areas of specialization:
I specialise in designing for print, and within that I have an emphasis on poster and flyer design.
