About me
Having graduated last year during a pandemic (Great timing), I'm delving into a creative career looking for opportunities to develop as an Illustrator/Designer/Animator. I studied Illustration & Visual Media BA Hons at University Arts London, where I graduated with a First, and since then have worked freelance with Bleacher Report, a large sports news company. In that role I create illustrations on quick turnaround for their social media channels, usually based on current news. As well as working for Bleacher Report, my most recent work saw me commissioned by Etch and Pin, a Coventry-based store, creating a large-scale illustration celebrating Coventry in it's year as the UK City of Culture. The piece had a great reception from local press, and sold really well - which is nice! I'm currently looking to take on more varied freelance work, perhaps illustrating for books and improving that side of my skillset, but also would be open to a more permanent role working as part of a team, whether in a more design-oriented capacity (which would be great for expanding my experience with the Adobe suite).
