A conceptual thinker and committed visual explorer with a strong passion for multiple design areas.
I found my love for creating from a young age, when the other kids were kicking a round shaped object up and down the street, I was drawing, making music and putting my imagination to use. After finding a passion for generating ideas through high-school education I went on to do a foundation year in art and design then study Graphic Design at Kingston University, London. I now have over 10 years experience working on a multitude of creative projects for international companies at design studios, collaborated on projects with animation studios, have over 6 years as an in-house designer and continue to work on ongoing personal projects. I like to learn about new mediums to express my creativity and always on the lookout to discover innovative design and find inspiration in everything around me. Fusing a combination of print, digital, illustration, plus audio and video elements I bring ideas to life with a no-stone unturned approach to the design process. Through organised thinking, clear presentation and getting in the customers shoes or the products inner workings I aim to find the best creative solution for project and client with the goal of exceeding expectations.
I believe the best design comes from meticulous research, asking questions, maintaining solid communications with the customer and not being afraid to challenge the brief to create a solution and experience that the relevant audience can fully engage with.

This site is just a small cross-section of my previous and ongoing projects. When I'm not bringing ideas to life in the visual realm I make electronic hip-hop and beats under the alias Dave Intex, check some of my beats below.
