I am an experienced, qualified and committed designer/illustrator who has been developing his craft for ten years as a freelancer alongside managing a successful independent brand.
I graduated from Camberwell College of Art (University of the Arts London) in the summer of 2016 where I studied BA (HONS.) Illustration. Previously, I took the Foundation Diploma in Art & Design course at Oxford Brookes University.
I am creative-suite literate, and wrote frequently throughout university on topics concerning digital media, education through contemporary craft and tablet interface. Digital media and producing promotional material have been integral parts of my trade for over ten years, having established myself as a freelancer primarily online.
My own independent work has been exhibited in Soho, West Kensington, Vauxhall, East Dulwich, Oxford and Winchester.
A line of psychedelic garments I created in the summer of 2016 have been stocked on Portobello Road, at London's oldest culture shop, Alchemy, ran by the world renowned Lee Harris.

- Liminal: In-between Two SpacesI curated a week long exhibition displaying sixteen of my own photographs in 2016. I organised the venue (Platform1, East Dulwich), and oversaw sponsorship (Four Pure brewery) and the marketing of the exhibition. I sold a number of photographs and went on to exhibit it again at The Omnibus Theatre in Clapham. Photos © Lucy Jazz Photography 2016 Poster © Natalya Best-Forbes 2016
