About me

Recent Graphic Design and Illustration graduate from De Montfort University, Leicester. Started a new turn in my life with a journey into the art world based on my interests in Comic Books and Graphic Novels. Over the years of studying I have discovered aspects of design and illustration that I never expected to be involved in. I have branched out further from comic books and have found myself creating things for other mediums.
