About me
I’ve suffered with severe, treatment refractory Obsessive Compulsive Disorder for the past 13 years – it has impacted every area of my life, often making simple, everyday tasks the most challenging of ordeals. The condition became so severe that, in 2014, it forced me to withdraw from university to seek specialist treatment.
Despite all the limitations my condition presents, I’ve always managed to express and develop my skills and interests in the arts. Whilst waiting to access treatment, I did not let my condition hold back my personal development, so I used this time to continue learning software and building on my personal style and interests.
Now, some 4 years later, I’m finally ready to return to the world of work and study. I recently started up a not for profit in my local area to reduce the environmental impact of plastic through art and creativity.
