MyBag "In Full Bloom"I was asked by MyBag to create an illustration based on a Núnoo bag for their latest campaign "In Full Bloom". I drew the Núnoo Mini Bobby Top Handle Bag in black. I took elements from the bag that I adored, such as the chain, and tried to imagine the type of person I could picture wearing it - someone cool, effortlessly stylish.

Zine projectFor this project, I illustrated and created my own zine reflecting my experiences and different fears whilst growing up in London. I chose this topic as my fears can sometimes be seen as 'silly'; it is something that is unavoidable in my daily life and something so common for others is not the same for me. This project is very important to me as it is like a visual diary.
