Saffron

Hello! I currently work as an Art Director and Designer for a creative agency. Alongside this, I am a guest lecturer at Kingston University, working with students and emerging creatives every month, I also volunteer at Institute of Imagination where I help kids learn creative technologies. I graduated 3 years ago, and am still very much in touch with what`s expected from art and design students, and would love the opportunity to pass on what i`ve learnt.

In my job, we work with creatives and artists on a daily basis and I am culturally aware of the creative industry and the skills needed. In my spare time, I love to draw, paint and knit and am always wanting to develop my practical skills.
