About Me

I began my journey in 2015 where I returned to higher education to find a vocation I love and have since learnt a lot by working on a number of solo and collaborative projects. I have gained a lot of experience over the last few years.

I take pride in all that I do and I am loving learning new processes again. I firmly believe that hard work eventually pays off, and I know that each day brings me closer to reaching my goals.

Perspective Drawing.

Learning to draw in perspective was good, I am not the best at drawing but learnt to get the scale more in proportion and how to add light and shading using photoshop which was great to add atmosphere and lift the drawing. I shall use this technique and go on to find new ways to enhance imagery using computer technology.

Window Dressing Using Sketch Up.

Learning how to use sketch up has been great in getting quick designs that look good and can be edited easily.
I designed a few shop window ideas for my friend's ironing shop and she loved them especially the flamingo one.
Sketch up is quite easy to get to grips with, I am not the greatest on computers but managed to pick up good skills in a short time and will continue to master the computer side of technology as it will be beneficial in the future.
