Excellent collaborative skills and a dynamic team player who is passionate about design and related genres. A pragmatist, keen to try out new ideas and able to engage in problem-solving to remove hurdles to achieving goals. Down to earth, open-minded, with a sense of humor.
In my spare time, I love to go fishing, play video games and read books. In 2015 I successfully completed a GCSE in Astronomy and currently, I am on a language course studying Japanese.
Whilst working at the The Royal Museums Greenwich, YMCA and Kings Recruitment Agency I clearly demonstrated my ability to work to strict deadlines and within budget, whilst tactically solving problems that arise on design and web projects.
I was also realised as a flexible and adaptable individual with clear and concise communication skills.
During my employment at Royal Museums Greenwich in the Design Department, I was able to learn and proficiently use the SketchUp 3D software effectively and to the required standard and with little training. I then used the product and demonstrated clear ability to produce high quality and detailed work. I was also recognised within these environments as a strong team player who is able to present viable output using prescribed and industry standard methodologies.
Working as part of an internship placement at the Royal Museums Greenwich, I was assigned to numerous projects. The first project was to draw up plans for an unused room within the museum to be remodeled into a storage area for the IT and Design department with shelving and storage utilities. It was then my job to translate the measurements of the room into a 3D model, with shelving and storage built into the model. This was then sent to the contractors to assess the development. The next project given to me was to design a gate-fold leaflet advertising the museums’ library events. I had to work to strict design guidelines given to me by the marketing team and work closely with the project leader and printing company who would print the leaflets. These would then be distributed around the museum for public use. On the third project, I was asked to plan and write a document for a possible piece of software that the design department was hoping to develop for an interactive. The project’s brief is a video game where the user has to construct a moon base for human colonisation, based on the realms of realism. I had to think of game mechanics, how the user interface should look, types of objectives for the user to complete and how the user will interact with the virtual environments.
work experience placement. From September 2012 to March 2013 I worked on various small projects using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign to produce and print screen ready material.
lunar rover and a Mars lander for the schools’ workshop programme. They were produced using SketchUp and later printed on Foamex to produce a 3D puzzle. Currently, I am learning VectorWorks and working with the design team within the Exhibitions department at the Museum on an upcoming exhibition.

Hired as a freelancer to assist in the production of a music video which required the production of graphic design work. The role was one of creative assistant which included providing support during a photo shoot for a fashion design client.
For the first two and a half years, I taught the basic techniques of Graphic Design to students, with self-organised lesson plans, work criteria, and assignments. I also produced advertising media required to promote the YMCA in the form of films, posters, leaflets, and flyers. Other duties included organising work to be printed, bound and prepared for mass production and producing digital copies of the paper-based material. Also, I was required to produce, shoot, direct, and edit a film outlining the YMCA’s past, present, and future, which was shown at their 2009 annual event.
