I am a multi-disability illustrator and creative artworker, with a passion for Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.
I have been lucky enough to work in healthcare illustration and diversity, equity and inclusion design with charities such as Great Ormond Street Hospital, additionally running workshops alongside their psychology team promoting creative expression for young people with serious illnesses.
With a number of years in apprenticeship and junior roles throughout the creative industry, i feel confident my experience can help springboard you projects into motion.

Projects
- Rise Up, Clean Up, Margate - Pride PublicationRISE UP, CLEAN UP is a community-driven social initiative with a mission to clean up Margate’s beaches and protect the local coastline, ocean and native wildlife. This project involved designing a promotional zine for their Margate pride event, with the goal of tying together the LGBTQIA+ community and the importance of clean social spaces.
- Great Ormond Street Hospital - Values CardsValues cards for the Psychology Team at Great Ormond Street Hospital. Designed to facilitate discussion and critical thinking, a set of 60 cards were designed to demonstrate the core values of the GOSH team. Simple value words were assigned to the card front, as a focal point with images, whilst descriptions for each value were added to a simple back-of-card designs.
- FaceblindProsopagnosia, also known as face blindness, means you cannot recognise people's faces. Previously thought to be very rare, developmental prosopagnosia is thought to effect 2% of the population to at least some degree. An autobiographical look at life with prosopagnosia, Faceblind covers the everyday and the extraordinary impacts of living in a world where every face is that of a stranger.
- Great Ormond Street Hospital - The Pain ChroniclesThis publication project involved the illustration, design, artworking, formatting and layout of a short story produced by a young patient in the Osteogenesis Imperfecta unit at Great Ormond Street Hospital. The short story depicted chronic pain and the patient's own resilience as humanoid entities locked in an eternal battle. Working under the art sector at GOSH, I created a series of spot images and spreads that reflected the author's artistic vision.
- Great Ormond Street Hospital - Osteogenesis ImperfectaLeading from prior commissioned work, this installation-style exhibit encompassing symptoms, challenges and life-long impacts that sufferers of Osteogenesis Imperfecta may experience. This installation's main goal was to educate the viewer of Osteogenesis Imperfecta, and build an understanding of how the condition may effect everyday life.
