Ashley Deniz Locke
I am a multi-disciplinary graphic designer from Ramsgate, Kent. My work involves both screen and print, specifically focusing on motion graphics and campaign work.
I am very fascinated by behavioural studies; working on youth engagement projects and celebrating the positive attributes of urban youth culture means a lot to me, as it is important to empower young people as valuable partners.
