About me
I am a multidisciplinary designer with a developed interest in typography and image making. I enjoy working within various design disciplines, experimenting with imagery using traditional and digital methods to create playful and interesting visuals in my work.
I recently graduated from The Arts University Bournemouth and am excited to begin working within the industry.

When reading the lyrics for their song Heel / Heal, we interpreted some of the lyrics having a link to the hidden homeless. Therefore we wanted this album to work as a campaign to raise awareness of the hidden homeless, those who
