My name is Charley and I am a passionate graphic designer with experience in several areas. I have a background in fine art and illustration but at university I fell in love with UX design.

Education

I attended the Commonweal School of Performing Arts until the age of 18.

I then attended the University of Reading to study Graphic Design at a degree level.

Whilst at Reading I took some time out to study at Sungkyunkwan University in Seoul. This is the oldest school in the country and it was here where I studied a variety of subjects such as marketing, business and Korean language.

Professional

I have worked for a number of clients during my time as a designer producing things like illustrations, brochures and company brand guidelines.

I have worked both independently and as part of a team. This allowed me to understand how I work and also learn the value of compromise and respecting other people’s process.

Personal

My personal interests mainly revolve around books. I typically read at least 100 books a year and have accounts dedicated to the reviews of these books.

I also love to draw. When I am not illustrating for professional projects I am creating fan art for shows and books I love.

I am an all round nerd and really enjoy finding ways to link my work to my passions.
