What made you want to work at TDL?
Their speciality in Information Design appealed to me, alongside the chance to work on a large range of projects. Being part of a small and friendly team in my experience has always led to really great outcomes and opportunities. I am buzzed to help create amazing solutions for our clients and get to know the TDL team!
If you could design one thing what would it be?
Ever since I got into powerlifting, I have wanted to design my own gym from the ground up with customised weight plates, equipment and an awesome brand. The gyms name would have to include a cat or gorilla and be super illustrative!

If you had to frame one piece of graphic design what would it be?
Any of the double page spreads from One Piece by my favourite manga artist Eiichiro Oda. His stylised illustrations, crazy way of storytelling and wacky character designs have been a huge inspiration to me for the last 10 years!

What’s your “party trick”?
One armed press ups!
You’re having a TV marathon this weekend. Which box set would you choose and which snacks would you provide?
I would have to put on Community! Its always fun getting to see people’s reactions to the self-aware humour and pop culture nods. Chicken fingers, popcorn and a selection of soda would be fitting! (Definitely some water on the side though to help offset all the salt).

Who would be your dream client and why?
Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett of Gorillaz as I love how each album has experimented with new visual media and always made the most innovative campaigns to get people involved!
