I’m a multidisciplinary designer, text based artist, team leader and budding researcher, born and based in London.
Although I come from a fashion design, retail and styling background, I’ve always been more interested in creative communication; finding ways to tell stories or raise awareness on different lifestyles, issues, experiences and cultures, so I'm currently working on my own art and design practise making text based artworks - hand painted rubber vest and dress sculptures and hand lettered or typographic prints.
I also started a current affairs blog where I rant about social, political and environmental issues; share insights into different lifestyles, traditions and cultures around the world, and interview local people on my travels for an ongoing series I started called ‘Life talks’.
Eager to gain some more industry experience, and work with brands, agencies and likeminded creatives, I’m looking for freelance or permanent roles in anything involving communication design, research or creative storytelling; as well as part time roles in client service or people facing roles.
I’m also hoping to collaborate with brands for my art and design practice.

- 'Life talks' interview seriesI started a research platform back in 2017 sharing insights into different lifestyles, issues and cultures around the world but I also wanted to find out more directly from local people about their thoughts and experiences (and also give some of my trips more purpose). So alongside the Instagram page and blog I started 'Life talks': an ongoing series of conversations and interviews with people from all over the world, talking about what it's like to live or grow up in their cites. Below is some
- 'Filthy Rich' typographic printCountries. Politicians. Businesses. Individuals. Ectr There has been so much... corruption and exploitation around the world (past and present) so I wanted to design a print that would encourage us to keep talking or thinking about it: money, resources, access and ownership ectr.
