During the last two years at the RCA my practice has developed significantly, reaching beyond the field of visual communication and into areas of strategic planning, event co-ordination and research. I consider myself a process designer as my work is very process and experience based - often culminating in events, exhibitions or activities.

My collection of work includes a research project exploring the print magazine industry, for which I organised a talk featuring the editors of The Wire, Little White Lies, Wrap and the now-defunct Grafik to speak at the RCA on the future of magazines, and a series of process books documenting my research.

I've also documented my planning, co-ordination and curation of the Visual Communication work-in-progress and final Show exhibitions. Taking ownership of these events in order to develop my abilities were challenging and valuable real-time learning experiences, and the process books attempt to manifest that ephemeral process into a physical, tangible form.

Other live events include running the Eady Forum with fellow students Jack Llewellyn and Joe Pielichaty, and senior tutor Adrian Shaughnessy. The Eady Forum is a fortnightly event series on contemporary graphic design and has developed a strong presence in the RCA events calendar due to its high profile guest speakers, workshops and exhibitions.

Following graduation I will be looking for roles involving strategy, planning, research or event co-ordination.
