REFERENCES ON REQUEST

I am a 22 year old student, who will be graduating with a degree in Graphic Design (BaHons) in July from the

University of Bolton, with the aim of achieving a minimum of a 2:1.   I am currently looking for any sort

of internships, either paid or unpaid, as I recognise experience is vital to succeed. As well as studying for my

degree, I have also been freelancing, for various clients within the UK.
