About me

I am an illustrator based in Brighton, who graduated in BA Illustration from the Cambridge School of Art. Some of my clients include: Sightsavers, Redactive Publishing, Bulltein Magazine, KTN Innovate, Walli and Trapstar. My style is a blend of realism and stylised design. Visual themes are often of extreme landmarks of nature, from mountains to canyons and valleys, to the final frontier of space. The application of my illustrations are versatile, including types of illustration such as: editorial illustration, packaging and advertising, sequential narration and also posters. I also am a designer; https://oadigital.cargo.site/ Currently I am working full time as a Designer for a small healthcare company called MedExpress.
