As an Illustrator and Print Designer I am always thinking creatively; inspired by bold colour and form. Travel and environment inspires my imagery mostly, but one of my great interests is found in a love for print design. I greatly enjoy the process and it inspires my work further. I work in both traditional hand rendered mediums as well as digitally.

I have always had an interest in design, particularly products and interiors, which lead me to my study. I graduated from the Arts University Bournemouth in BA (Hons) Illustration, with First Class Honours in June 2018.

I have been working full time as a Print Designer in the fashion industry since September 2018.
