I am an Illustrator and Graphic Designer who recently graduated with a First-Class bachelor’s Degree in Graphic Design. I was born and raised in London, where I am currently based. For the last 5 years of my life, I have sought to make use of my artistic qualities, as well as other skills I could develop, such as the ability to problem-solve and innovate. I also hold attributes not particularly exclusive to illustration, that are otherwise still useful. University equipped me with the ability to lead a team, make tough decisions, manage my time efficiently, and think critically. All of these have helped me to significantly better my thinking, interactions, and actions as an illustrator. Currently, I freelance with clients of my own, whom I meet through social media and networking events. When I have free time, I create new designs, illustrations (and cartoons) for practice or my own leisure.

I created these with an emphasis on combining the classic logos and their current designs, rather than modernism like most redesign concepts. Manchester city, first image. I redesigned the eagle that was present on the club's old logo to one that looks a bit more sharp. curved and stern. It allows it to be neatly contained in a circular crest (first image). The other versions, without the circle, would be the regular
- Graphic Poster seriesBelow are a collection of my best graphic posters, created for social media self-promotion, mainly. The first is a graphic poster created in tribute to one of my favourite trainers and brands, the Air Jordan 4. The aesthetics are highly influenced by Nike's existing promotion campaigns and my own art style (tendency to include illustrations and Japanese characters, for example.) The second is a poster that also functions as a magazine cover. a Nintendo version of the existing "Play" magazine t
