CHAR McKAY
PERSONALLY WORKING AS A CREATIVE PARTNER WITH THE CLIENT TO DESIGN CONSCIOUSLY CRAFTED MATERIALS.
2024  

Bristol-based designer, who enjoys producing printed materials in the form of publications, prints and posters. I enjoy working through tactile processes, incorporating crafts and printing techniques into contemporary work. 
    Through a keen eye for detail, I enjoy curating content and look forward to working on exhibitions to showcase art & design, with previous collaborations with the London-based Travel Things museum, and work featured at the London Design Festival 2023/24.
    I studied for a Bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design at the University of The West of England, with a Distinction Foundation Degree in Art & Design at Oxford Brookes University, where I developed my craft for Letterpress, Silkscreen and Riso Printing, which I love to intergrate into my work.
