Hello, I'm Chris, a dedicated graphic designer specializing in crafting unique visual identities through innovative logo design and creative solutions. Being an introvert, I understand the challenges of connecting with others face-to-face. That's why I've developed a remote working process. You can send me a detailed brief, and I'll transform it into a powerful visual concept for your brand and digital content. I work diligently to meet your deadlines.
Let's discuss your project – get in touch today.
Education background
For my secondary education, I attended Dawn House, a boarding school in Nottinghamshire tailored for children with learning difficulties. Despite my initial struggles with verbal communication, I found my passion in Graphic Design. I pursued a BTEC Diploma at Vision West Nottinghamshire College and later continued my studies at North Kent College at Dartford.
I started and completed a foundation degree in Graphic Design at Camberwell College of Arts and then continued to pursue a Bachelor of Arts at UAL. I hold a BA in Graphic Design Communication from Chelsea College of Arts and an MA in Visual Sociology at Goldsmiths, University of London. My studies in Sociology have equipped me with valuable skills in ethnography and empirical research, which significantly enrich my contributions during the research phases of my design development for various projects.
As a self-taught designer, my passion for learning is reflected in my extensive reading habits. I highly recommend exploring the resources I've gathered.
