I graduated Bournemouth University in 2008 with a 1st in BA Hons Interactive Media Production. I am very keen on design and digital photography and regularly keep up to date with new advances in technology. I am always looking for new ways in which traditional subjects can be approached with modern interpretation. I work hard to produce work that carries a high standard of interest and aesthetic quality. I greatly enjoy working as part of a team, but I have a high sense of responsibility and self-discipline to work independently. I am a keen believer in professionalism, and can adapt well to diverse situations that involve different levels customers and co-workers. I take pride in everything I do and have enjoyed substantially positive feedback from customers and co-workers. I look for challenging work and chances to prove myself in environments that I am passionate about.
