I grew up on Dartmoor surrounded by wild moorland and nature. It was a busy household (I have six siblings!) but that didn’t put any halt to my creative output. From an early age I was always sketching, painting and making and as a young teenager I shoe-horned my fathers huge old architects drawing board into my bedroom and spent hours copying out logos from the brands around me (a logo nerd even then!). It wasn’t until years later after a music degree, a year in Germany, an aborted masters in musicology and a stint in music publishing with plenty of globe-trotting thrown into the mix that I settled back into design. By then I was so determined that I’d carve out a career I would love, that I frequently studied late into the night teaching myself all the design software, churning through forums and tutorials when I became stuck. I’ve never looked back. I love my job, I love all that it allows me to be and I hold it dearly to me.
