I am a creative and colourful individual with more side hustles than fingers. I specialise in illustration and print design.
I am self-motivated and am constantly creating every second of the day. I love to learn and try out different disciplines and styles - this led me to the design, production and launch of my own brand of soft furnishings, Scho Studio.
My most recent client-led projects have seen illustrations, repeat prints and branding, designed for start-ups such as Blooms by G, Filth Pots
and Concrete Jungle Yoga.
I have an on-going collaboration with independent fashion brand, Pickle Parlour, and have produced 3 seasons of playful pickle character illustrations for apparel and accessories that have been purchased worldwide.
Whilst working with this brand, I have taken on the creation and development of branding and marketing graphics, as well as social media content, including filming and editing short clips for brand advertising using Adobe Premiere Pro.
Our products are currently sold as a concession in two stores in the UK – Atika in Shoreditch, and Neighbourhood Store in Shoreham.
My work ethic is excellent and my dedication to every task and role has resulted in my progression to leadership roles wherever employed. Working as a Visual Merchandiser for a high-street fashion company, I have adapted to working in a fast-paced environment that requires excellent organisational skills and entrepreneurial thinking daily.

During the past 18 months, I have been building and updating my portfolio and social media content in line with my collaboration with Pickle Parlour. This has generated commissions with other start up brands producing prints, patterns and logos.
Currently, I am in the process of launching my first solo collection of hand-made cushions for the interior accessories market. This collection includes fabrics I have designed and digitally printed. I have designed the follow up collections and strategised how to grow and expand my brand in the future. These cushions will initially be available via my website and social media.
