“Designers shooting for usable is like a chef shooting for edible.”
– Aaron Walters
I consider myself to be a bit of a late developer
in terms of my university experience being that
I am significantly older than many of my peers.
However, after working in catering for somewhat
9 years I wanted a change of pace and a chance
to develop my interests in graphic design, which
was a discipline that I instantaneously fell in
love with.
I have a range of visual styles that I particularly
like, ranging from flat design styles that have
appeared in poster designs I did for the Centre
of Alternative Technology, to bolder thick-lined
work which appear in both Schralfs Ciders
work and Bottle Hoppers Micro Bar designs.
I’ve explored many avenues in respect for
branding – culminating in my events (work for
the ‘Yes Chef’ food & drink designs). My biggest
accomplishment has been Schralfs Ciders
bottle designs where I wanted to pay homage
to my years in catering with graphic design.
I previously worked part time for a product
development firm and whilst I did not do so
much graphic design, there were aspects of
the job that have definitely benefitted my
skillset here – such as coding and scripting.
