ABOUT ME
I’m Alfred Drew a young designer from Sussex, I have always seen the world through geometric patterns and shapes and I’ve always had a passion to express my emotions through art and designing. My main goal within my work is to bring people together. I’m a hands on designer with close attention to detail, I love to collaborate and combine my strengths with others to create stronger work. Within my practice I am most proud of my ability to develop a range of designing techniques and I continue to work on my craft. I am ambitious and want to work on larger scales and larger projects to continue to build my portfolio and work with likeminded people. In my free time I enjoy cooking, music and sports.
