During 2019 I worked a full time job as Production, Graphic Designer and Illustrator, then in 2021 as Head of Design for Independent Media/Voice Group Media. This company ran The Voice and Sunday Independent newspapers, as well as Cornwall Today magazine. 

Throughout my time here, I designed and illustrated for many different companies – usually local to the Cornish county but sometimes national too – for the purpose of adverts within the newspapers. Additionally, I created bespoke illustrations and designed layouts for both the newspaper and for editorial use in Cornwall Today magazine.

In April 2022, I started a Level 3 Diploma in Advanced Graphic Design with the Creative Design School. I wanted to be more informed about the discipline I was working in and to improve my skill set, my knowledge and most importantly my process. This course honestly taught me more than my degree in terms of practical tips that I could apply to my work. I can’t recommend the Creative Design School enough as this course really helped me to reignite the passion I have for the creative industry.
