ABOUT

BIO

I am a freelance designer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. For the last several years I have been consolidating my skills as a graphic designer, with an aim to specialise in branding and web-design.

So far my education and experience have netted me the skills necessary to effectively design branding, with well-reasoned and principled design systems. I have an eye for layouts across both digital and physical contexts. I have also gained the skills to make me an effective Webflow designer.

ETHOS

Less is more; minimalism is the height of communication in the oversaturated modern world. Minimalism is not just a style of design but a broader ethos. The most effective solution will always be effortlessly simple in it’s logic and reasoning, if not its visual execution.

Geometry is the core of all design, it is what governs proportion, scale, and inter-relatedness between forms and shapes - there are few greater tools than geometry to divide and lay out space, frames and artwork.

It is a powerful tool for understanding.
