After 4 years of studying I walked away with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic & Media Design.
Rather than going down the traditional route and trying to find work, I decided to start a business instead. YouTube was relatively new at the time and my business partner and I saw an opportunity. Under the name Reload Sessions Ltd, we created a video production company championing unsigned musicians in the London music scene
View the channelWith the YouTube channel views and subscribers steadily rising, new opportunities kept on opening up for the business.
After securing enough funding, we were able to take the concept of Reload Sessions to the USA.

Straight after shutting down the company a new opportunity presented itself to be the Creative Director for a relatively new company in the vegan industry. It was something totally new and I was excited for a new challenge.
Having had a long distance relationship for several years, I decided to relocate to Sweden to live closer to my partner.
Several businesses got hit hard, sadly ours was no different. After much consideration, I decided that it was time for me to move on from my work and figure out my next chapter in life.
I had always wanted to understand programming, and now that I had more free time on my hands I thought it was about time to start learning.
I managed to land a new role in a new field - UX/UI Designer for a Digital Agency in Sweden. It was something completely different to what I had done in the past, but I had always wanted to work in the field of tech. Again, I embraced a new challenge.
After going all-in and showing both competence and potential, I was able to land the role of Competence Lead UX/UI designer with SQLI Nordics AB
View SQLI NordicsA new and exciting opportunity presented itself and I was able to land the UX Lead Designer role with Orbi. Being the 8th hire in the relatively new company, I'm excited to both grow in my role as well as the company itself.

After a 10 year relationship, we finally got to tie the knot and celebrate our marriage with family and friends.
