Hiya, I am a creative human who's recently graduated from Central Saint Martins Fashion Communication BA (with a First somehow!) and launched Yanker Magazine - a fashion graphic novel featured in i-D and throughout CSM's communication channels. I write, illustrate and design, but most of all I am a creative thinker and lightning-fast learner so am open and adaptable to pretty much anything. Oh, and I'm obsessed with everything satirical.

- YANKERYANKER is a fashion magazine that satirises making a fashion magazine today. In the format of a gargantuan graphic novel, this interactive art piece packs a solid punch of relevant, journalistic fashion satire. It is a medley of words and images that forms an outrageously bonkers tale - layered, of course, with die-hard iconic fashion references. With the maverick spirit and gumptious balls of Diana Vreeland, its narrator leads the audience on a wacky fashion adventure as she attempts to put the fantasy back into today's sterile and superficial fashion climate. In other words, YANKER is the South Park for fashion nerds - at once a celebration and a scathing critique of the industry it portrays.

Education
BA(Hons) Fashion Journalism
- London, United Kingdom
With Central Saint Martin's infamous hands-off, student-led approach to answering project briefs, I was able to flourish and use my strong self-motivation and determination to teach myself countless valuable skills - not only technical skills such as Adobe CC, writing, illustration/graphics, but also a strong work ethic, thinking quickly on my feet and creative problem solving. By the end I had developed a reputation for my untamed imagination and out-of-the-box thinking, and managed to graduate with a First Class Honours Degree.
