OUGD402- PPP - reflective practice

What makes YOU you?

I am a serene/ calm person and will avoid disputes. I am known by my friends for being laid back and able to think logically about every situation even if I am embedded in it myself- I can always seem to see both sides of the coin.





I firmly believe in fair play and letting all sides have their input before a final decision is made. 

I believe that every cloud really does have a silver lining - everything happens for a reason! That even the worst of situations will have a positive outcome.

My most treasured memories are of past Christmas', and my past trips to USA. In particular Florida Disneyworld. I can guarantee that I think of a past holiday daily and I am so lucky to have had these great opportunities. I can't think of a better way to spend savings, and I am always planning somewhere to visit, even if I am just collecting vouchers out of newspapers! Travelling is forever rewarding.

I adore holiday celebrations, my most favourite being Christmas. It is my favourite time of year, even over summer, surprisingly to most. I love the decor, food, togetherness and even though I wouldn't consider myself particularly religious I love going to church!

What makes YOU the designer you are?

I am very feminine and 'fussy' in my designs, particularly in my choice of typography. My inspirations for this are Julene Harrison, Jessica Hische & Kate Forrester

"The wedding of the decade is almost here and Marks and Spencers decided to celebrate the happy occasion by asking me to design this commemorative biscuit tin in honour of Kate and Will." - Kate Forrester, UK

I love colour and use it as much as possible in my designs - like in the work of Wes Wilson:

I love to be youthful and fun in my designs. I would love to be able to utilise my skills of this nature in the departments of Walt Disney Imagineering.

I like to utilise paper as a medium for creating different designs, not just displaying them. Pop up designers Robert Sabuda and Sam Ita really inspire me for this, but I am in love with the work of Brittany Lee - I want to be her!

I almost always use illustration in my designs. I love illustrations by Jessica Hische.
