I am Make’s senior designer, which means I oversee every aspect of design within the agency to make sure it’s in perfect condition before it’s sent to the client.

What are your core skills?

I’m a Jack-of-all trades (and don’t worry, a master at them all too) when it comes to design. My skills lie in a bit of everything: web, print, brand and illustration.

If you’re looking for a curated Spotify playlist, I’m your guy. When I’m not curating bangin’ playlists, I’m probably doing a 7-step skincare routine which some YouTuber has told me to do.

Do you have any pets?

Me and my partner, Stef, have a gorg adopted cat called Kiume. She’s 30% mad, 20% always hungry, and 50% sassy. Pretty much the same as me.

Outside of work I listen to a lot of podcasts and music and watch a lot of movies, typically bad horror films. I’m also a little bit of a fast-food junkie, so can usually be found with some of the Gregg's vegan range or the ultimate McDonald’s meal: a double quarter pounder with cheese, fries Sprite, nine nuggets and all of the sauces. I play guitar and bass and am trying to improve at both of those!
