My design practice is vibrant, mixed media based and innovative. I’m always eager to get myself involved in new opportunities within the creative industry and love to collaborate. My areas of interest with Graphic Design include branding, product design and packaging.
My current role as a Junior Artworker at Revolution Beauty has allowed me to create artworks for new and upcoming products within the business whilst collaborating with product development and technical teams. Working remotely and within a large company has also helped me to develop strong organisational skills when planning ahead, working towards several deadlines simultaneous and contacting international suppliers.
Alongside my full time role, I also run a small Etsy business where I create products based on positivity, self love and feminism.
During my time at university I had undertaken a wide range of different projects which included client work, competitions, live briefs, collaborations and independent briefs as well as passion projects.

This campaign aims to steer away from stereotyped, humorous imagery and p
