About me

A creative all rounder with a passion for making amazing graphics that connect people with ideas. I work from concept and love to build designs from scratch, I sketch daily and I am passionate about the power images have to communicate without explanation. A keen photographer and collector of surface textures from the natural world to industrial environments. My mission is to make designs that are authentic and immersive - something that people want to reach out and touch
