ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
Hi, I’m Max! A 22 year old highly motivated Designer and Creative with a keen talent and passion for fresh ideas, purpose-driven design. I consistently push boundaries and welcome fresh challenges with enthusiasm. My forte lies in being adaptable and capable of tackling a wide array of creative tasks.
Current Position -
Presently employed at Sky Creative, Europe's premier in-house agency. As a Junior Creative within the Advertising Entertainment team, I contribute to 360° entertainment campaigns and key art for award-winning Sky shows such as 'The Tattooist of Auschwitz'. From conceptualising campaigns to designing for print, social media, out-of-home placements, and even experiential stunts, each task has been an exciting opportunity to innovate and collaborate. I am grateful for the experiences and the talented people I get to work with every day.
Education -
I pursued my Graphic Design degree at Ravensbourne University London from 2020 to 2023, where I achieved a First Class Honours Degree. I characterise the course as a blend of graphic design with an artistic emphasis. I chose Ravensbourne due to its strong industry connections and its prime location in London, the hub of the design world. Additionally, the university's multidisciplinary approach and focus on purposeful creativity were key factors in my decision.
