About me
I'm a designer and artist, based in Berlin. I graduated from Leeds Arts University with BA(Hons) Illustration in 2018. After relocating to Germany in 2019, I'm now working as a freelance designer. My practice explores colour, form and composition, with the intention of finding cohesion between the three. Aiming to achieve crisp and balanced imagery, I work with a combination of analogue and digital mediums.
Projects
  • Sortengold Packaging Design
    Sortengold Packaging DesignProduct packaging design for Sortengold coffee beans. Looking to represent a fair trade product which promotes biodiversity. The illustration was made with linocut to create a one of a kind image for their brand, whilst also bringing an organic quality to an otherwise very graphic composition.
  • All Day and All of the Night
    All Day and All of the NightOriginally an image made for a linocut, I saw the potential in creating a t-shirt featuring the design. The traditional print technique provides an organic line quality.

    I worked collaboratively on a YCN brief for UK Greetings. This entailed designing our own collection of greetings cards and greetings dressings. Our collection was aimed towards children and parents, and looks at the process of art and crafts. We depicted different woodland animals, as we proposed to use card and paper certified by the FSC. As well as being a sustainable source, with this we hoped to promote an environmentally friendly attitude.
