York St John University in the UK. I have been a designer for almost 7 years. Working with a mixture of mediums from textiles, to digital, and print. I\u2019ve worked for a variety of people, amongst them being charities, galleries, and a wide range of people&#8217;s personal projects. Things from posters and advertising, to branding, illustrations, and tattoo designs. I\u2019ve studied a form of art for the last 7 years those being Fine art, Graphic design, and Textiles. Many of my personal projects have an influence from my heritage, as a New Zealander. I find the patterns and colouring\u2019s of nature influence me to have refreshing unusual style. Having lived my whole life so far in a tiny corner of North Yorkshire I also use inspiration from the coast and moors around me, the colouring of heather is beautiful with the sea and the horizon behind it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Past Work<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"margin-bottom-none\"><strong>Young Leader &#8211; Village Youth Group<\/strong><br>(2016 &#8211; 2019)<br>I volunteered as a Youth Leader for a few years, this entailed organising activities and helping fun-raise for the group as well as being able to offer support to members of the group.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"margin-bottom-none\"><strong>Receptionist &amp; Events Runner<\/strong><br>(August 2017 &#8211; December 2018)<br>I started Volunteering\u00a0there to help hang exhibitions and slowly began running events and gallery openings, handling on-the-door ticket sales, setting up for events,\u00a0 and running the bar.
