"I first fell in love with design at school - creating posters and programmes for various events - and have continued to find ways to use and develop my skills in the various jobs I've had since. Whilst working for Boots the Chemists I started a store newsletter and in my role as a Training Officer at The Royal Bank of Scotland, I created most of my own training material and the training department’s intranet site."

"More recently, during a period of unemployment, I completed an Advanced Diploma in Graphic Design and took on the role of Promotional Material Designer for a local voluntary association. Then, upon starting work at my local HMV, I created material for the store's social media accounts."

"When not sat at my laptop, you'll probably find me somewhere watching a movie. I've long been obsessed with film and its history and, while my taste is definitely best described as 'eclectic', the one thing I am certain about is that 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' is both my own favourite film and the definitive 'Best Film Ever Made'."
