Travel.
One of the things that makes me happiest is thinking about the places I have been and the places I will go. I have been lucky enough to have travelled to an array of places across the globe, my favourite destinations being; California, New york, Barcelona and Paris. I love being exposed to other cultures and ways of life that are different to my own. I believe that these experiences have made me a more considerate and well rounded person, and it is these moments throughout the years that I look forward to most.
Performance Arts.
Not only do I enjoy going to watch performances, plays, musicals, dance shows I also enjoyed taking part in these classes for 12 years. From these classes I was given a lot of opportunities which I enjoyed very much, including travelling to London, Paris and Barcelona for performances and taking part in extras work on the Waterloo road set.
Driving
The more I have grown up, the more I have strived for independence. One of my greatest achievements was passing my driving test. Being able to drive myself instead of having to ask others or get the bus gave me greater freedom and independence. Passing my driving test has also instilled me with the confidence that If I work hard I can achieve any goal.

I have always been the type of person that likes to make people laugh, and to laugh in return. I find that laughter is the cure to many situations and that I try to break down many barriers by making people laugh.

Music.
The music I listen to almost 100% of the time is dependant on my mood and how I am feeling. However I have grown to like one particular genre of music more recently, electronic and chillwave music helps me to be more productive and provides relaxation.

5 statements that state me as an individual in terms of Where I am at and what I want to do, supported by evidence of graphic design.
Whilst I have been at university I have soaked up information like a sponge and learnt a lot about myself as a designer and the type of design I like, I was recently recommended to look at Kate Forrester's work and after seeing the type of pieces she has created and the way in which she commits to each piece and every detail was inspiring, I would love to be able to produce work like hers one day.

Looking at other designers work, and that created by my peers, I would like to look into working with paper more, in particular paper craft. Utilising skills such as paper cutting and origami to experiment and create unique pieces. I would also like to consider working with 3d graphic design instead of 3d using paper craft.

There Is one skill that I have been keen to learn ever since starting graphic design at LCA and that is embossing and letterpress. Work produced via these processes has always been among my favourite, and I am glad that LCA have organised Letterpress workshops in which I will be able to eventually posses the skill to use these processes.

I want to become more knowledgeable, to always approach design with an open mind and to learn whatever is possible about Graphic design. I want to develop a more directional approach to the type of work I would like to pursue and the workplace. I want to work within a design studio as oppose to freelance as I enjoy the setting at LCA where I am able to ask other graphic designers for opinions/feedback.
