Curriculum Vitae

In short I graduated from the University of Reading with a first-class degree in Typography, I work at Fueled, and in my spare time I’m in triathlon training, watching Spurs or playing with LEGO.

I love my job at Fueled, but you never really know what lies ahead. I’m happy to chat about alternatives, but forgive me if it doesn’t top what I’ve already got!

Education

University of Reading 2010–13

BA Graphic Communication & Typography, First-class honours

My time at the University of Reading has helped me hone my design skills both in print, and digitally; and underlined my desire to go into the world of web design and development.

Working with real clients on live projects throughout the course provided hands-on experience in delivering projects on time, and within budget.

It also gave me the opportunities to explore other disciplines like typeface design that helped broaden my skillset and knowledge base.

Dame Alice Owen’s School 2003–10

BBB A-level; 11 GCSEs – 6A*, 4A, 1B

DAOs provided the perfect environment to push me academically; I received letters of commendation from two examination boards for achieiving results within the top 1% in both Italian and Art at GCSE.

A competetive school like Owen’s offered lots of opportunities to represent them, and I did my best to do that as often as possible; playing football, basketball, and running track among other disciplines.

In my own time

Training and fundraising

Depending on when you’re reading this, and how recently I’ve updated this I’m either training for or have competed in Tough Mudder, a series of runs, and several Triathlons; all of which are efforts to fundraise for Macmillan. You can check my progress or donate here.

Unwinding

LEGO formed a huge part of my childhood, and I still love switching off and engaging my inner master builder. There’s nothing quite like instructionless creativity.
