JOSEPH PRATT'S 

ABOUT ME

Joseph Pratt

I am a driven individual who enjoys trying new things and takes great pleasure in doing them well. 

I spend most of my spare time writing, illustrating, designing logos, and simplistic animations, as well as working on videography and photography projects. I live to promote and create, producing new concepts gives me an immense sense of fulfilment. I can quickly come up with imaginative ideas with little prompting that I am able to develop into work I’m proud of. I enjoy working both digitally and traditionally, individually or as part of a team, often taking the lead in group activities. I am enthusiastic throughout the entire creative process, and I am keen to develop and improve my existing skills.

I volunteered at Cycloparks first Christmas market, here I helped where I could and made my way around each market stall where I took pictures of various products and services.

promote their beers, and clothing line.
