About me/

Hello and Welcome to my online portfolio,

I am a recent graduate of Blackpool & the Fylde College where I completed a BA (hons) in Graphic Design. Previously I completed a BTEC National Diploma in Graphic Design with a triple distinction. I am currently studying a Masters Degree in Graphic Design at UCLAN which I am throughly enjoying and will complete December 2010. View my progress through the MA on my blog, www.helenfindsthings.co.uk. I am interested in photography and aim to do an evening course to improve my skills, Here is my photography portfolio so far on Flickr.

My designs tend to be based on the concept rather than the style as I believe a strong concept is the most important aspect of a design. I find my inspiration in handmade techniques and natural environments.
