I am a motivated, adaptable and responsible fashion and business graduate , who has developed professional and creative skills through past work and job experiences as well as my degree.
What I am most successful with is taking a concept and using it to a create continuous new ideas and then building on the right one until I achieve the best outcome. I pride myself for my skill with colour and tone, I like to create mood and evoke thoughts and feeling with colour in my work, whether it's through photography, styling or make up.
Researching areas of fashion, history, beauty, music and the arts inspires my creative practice. I hope to creative visually pleasing yet contextually rich work that can be applied to many sectors of human life; whether it's to raise awareness to inequality, sustainability, or to be shown through art, make-up, fashion or film.

- Distorted SelfThe context behind these images is trying to convey that neurotic aspect of the human brain. That niggly voice that tell you you're not good enough, that you are a mess, that you can't get through today. That anxious, paranoid self that is part of every person, with some it takes over more than others. This side of us tries to push through that filter to sabotage and bring the negative to the surface. These images also connected with the idea of 'Fragile Beauty' and appearance. People often have
- SkinThe body art that was created in these images have been achieved to represent the way that our own emotional personality is formed over time from past experiences. The harsh word, social media comments, break-ups and fall outs. The love, forgiveness and patience that develops differently for each person. These make us who we are, how we react and how we feel. You can't physically see the map of whats happened to make us who we are but it is always there underneath. When painting I wanted to crea
- Fragile Surroundings: Narcotic EmbodimentNarcotic Embodiment is based on the concept of how fragile human’s can be in relation to drugs, the drug trade, addiction and the fragile line that is constantly walked along in relation to human life and drugs. When thinking of human existence and it’s surroundings, I thought one of the most fragile aspects along with the obvious environmental characters of Mother Earth and the Sea Sovereign, I thought of the drug trade. When considering this concept one must take into account the amount of hu
- Fragile Surroundings: Mother EarthThis collection titled 'Mother Earth' has been created with the context of representing how we take from nature and destroy it yet completely depend on it to survive on planet earth. Not only have we taken from the earth since civilisation began, but now in 2020 our planet seems to be at breaking point. This shoot has a stylised aesthetic using natural materials, mixed with found man made objects. I wanted this series to be part of the 'Fragile Surroundings' collection, showing the fragile aspec
- Fragile Surroundings: Sea Sovereign‘The Sea Sovereign’, has been created with the context of representing how we take the essence of the sea and domesticate it in our homes, especially bathrooms and aquariums. As well as the unacceptable rate of mass fishing, destruction of coral reefs, whaling and pollution of our seas. This series is to be part of the ‘Fragile Surroundings’ collection, showing the fragile relationship between humans and the environment. The concept of sirens and mermaids fascinated me from a young age, I alway
