What’s your background?

‍
I’m a music performance graduate from the Royal Welsh College of Music,Cardiff but throughout my studies my love for everything design helped financially maintain the student lifestyle. In my second year I started up as a freelance designer from my halls of residence room and gradually took on larger, more substantial projects. After a 5 year period of freelancing and consulting I delved into agency work and I’m incredibly excited about starting and progressing my digital design journey with Creative Pod!
