Projects
  • Jazz night
    Jazz nightI created the above illustration after watching some really great live music - nothing beats a small venue!
  • Pole playing cards
    Pole playing cardsPole fitness and dance is a personal hobby of mine, and I chose to combine it with my love of illustration by drawing up an entire deck of cards with pole tricks of varying difficulty.
  • GSK Interactive case
    GSK Interactive caseThe Relvar interactive case was created to help teach health care professionals about the daily impact asthma has on patients lives, and how proactive regular dosing with Relvar can help releive their symptoms.
  • Lyra playing cards
    Lyra playing cardsAerial hoop (also known as Lyra) is a form of aerial fitness that is taught at my local pole studio. After illustrating a deck of pole playing cards (see other project) there was demand for a Lyra deck as well.
  • Qatar Library illustrations
    Qatar Library illustrationsI worked as an illustrator for Spiral Productions to create a series of animations for Qatar Library. The goal of the animations was to teach the viewer of Qatars rich culture and history. My job was to draw up and colour the backgrounds and provide illustrations such as ships, animals and supporting characters, ready to hand over to the animator. I also drew some of the supporting characters.
  • Woodland Critters
    Woodland CrittersIn this project, I played around with the character design of several woodland critters and their woodland environment. I wanted to practise painting digitally on Photoshop, and this was a really fun way to do so!
