About me
I am A Visual Communicator. My skills are diverse, allowing me to focus on the outcome over what tools I can use. I strive for my work to have meaning; this can be from educating people about the cause of deforestation to animation that introduces new ways to break down cultural barriers. I am ambitious, this can be demonstrated through my years of sport, and dedication to Visual Communication.

  • D&AD Adobe: Advice To Others 2017
    D&AD Adobe: Advice To Others 2017Brief: Dig deep into your hard-won wisdom and life lessons, and celebrate them through illustration or photography. Identify the advice you’d like to give, and create a series of 3 posters or prints to visually bring your insight to life. Response: I created 3 posters aimed to provoke art students aged 17-21 to take more risks. I want people to realise that mistakes should be embraced. Not feared.
