I am an enthusiastic and innovative creative, who has a passion for craft. Alongside my love for photography, I also have a strong interest in graphic design and illustration, which can be seen throughout my work. I strongly value the importance of spreading kindness and positivity, as well as creating memorable and impactful projects.
My favourite themes to explore are sustainability and the environment. I am passionate advocate for the slow fashion movement, which is evident throughout my projects. I try my best to inspire positive change within the fashion industry. Additionally, I enjoy uplifting others and community building through creating platforms and offering a helping hand. I have curated the publication 'HerStory' which features a wide range of female creatives in the hope to promote their work and create a community. This is something I hope to continue with throughout my career, in various creative roles and passion projects.
When I am not trapped behind my computer screen, I can also be found at my part-time barista job - constantly trying to perfect my latte art, at the beach, or watching way too many romantic comedies!
