About me

Having originally trained as an architectural designer, in 2019 I pivoted my career to focus on graphic and digital design. My work explores the relationship between digital and physical craft and the overlap between the two, fusing my interest in digital design and textile based crafts.

I developed my ideas in letterpress creating laser cut blocks for printing the cropped letterforms using acrylic before printing, aligning and overprinting in the letterpress workshop. Each cover can be considered individually or as a whole to spell ‘TYPE’
