About me
Currently I am working on building my profile as a new upcoming fashion illustrator. My goal is to collaborate with big names in the fashion industry such as ASOS, TOPSHOP and URBAN OUTFITTERS to design and illustrate T-shirts and other fashion accessories. I achieved a 2:1 BA (HONS) Fashion Communication and Marketing degree. I developed and crafted my own unique signature in fashion illustration and become aware of how to place concepts in the fashion market place.
