I am a recent graduate of the the National College of Art and Design (Ireland), where I received first class honours in my BA in Fine Art Print and Visual Culture (Joint Major). Having spent my time in college maintaining a Fine Art practice while simultaneously completing projects for external employers, I have developed a comprehensive understanding, both practically and theoretically, of contemporary art and design.
My work ranges a variety of mediums, including animation, illustration, installation and sculpture. My portfolio constitutes an array of projects, consisting of work from my own personal practice, as well as commissions I have completed in a commercial capacity.

- Dublin, Ireland
• Focused on, a range of different print techniques, both analogue and digital. During my first year I was offered the opportunity to pursue a double honours degree in Fine Art and Visual Culture.

This has given me a strong understanding of the theory of contemporary art and design.
