Projects
  • Too many critics
    Too many criticsI drew some portraits of chefs for a poster for Action Against Hunger that was published in The Evening Standard. The first photo I have attached is the original poster that I made. The second is the poster action against hunger made using my drawings. The third is the article. A very proud moment!
  • Polypercentage
    PolypercentageFor my degree show and FMP at Leeds Arts University, I created an advertising campaign called 'Polypercentage'. It aimed to raise awareness of the polyester in clothes that currently floods our environment. I wanted to highlight that it will eventually effect humans in order to make a scary statement.

    I currently work as a workshop assistant at Arty Party, an afternoon and holiday Art School for children. My responsibilities involve explaining the project tasks to the children, assisting them with the making of them, whilst ensuring they are having a safe and enjoyable time. I must be organised with timekeeping, cleanliness and outcome of the tasks. I am friendly and outgoing in order to keep the children engaged. This role allows my creativity to flourish.

    Gallery AssistantAffordable Art Fair
     - London, United KingdomInternship
    I did work experience during the Battersea Park Affordable Art Fair, for ArtDog London. I helped curate the galleries exhibition space, whilst being an assistant to the director. I used my customer service skills to talk to clients about the art work on show, and made successful sales. I had to pay close attention in order not to lose a sale and had to be very quick on my feet. I was in charge of wrapping the art work once a sale had been completed.

    Bachelor of Arts (BA) Leeds Arts University
     - Leeds, United Kingdom
    I studied Illustration BA at Leeds Arts University, graduating in July with a 2.1 degree. During these three years my passion for raising awareness about the climate crisis through my illustrations developed. In my FMP, I created a poster campaign called ‘Polycentage’ making people aware about the risks of polyester to people and environment through image making and typography. I enhanced my digital illustration as well as print making and technical drawing skills. I am a confident multidisciplinary practitioner.

    Foundation Diploma in Art and DesignCamberwell College of Arts (UAL)
     - London, United Kingdom
    I studied at UAL Camberwell for a foundation diploma in art and design. Here, I specialised in painting and developed my conceptual painting skills. The most important outcome of this experience was discovering my love of illustration and being pushed by my tutor to apply for it at degree level.
