Hello - thank you so much for visiting my page!
I was born and grew up in London's East End, which remains my base.
My career began with an Art & Design Foundation course at Kingston University. Three years later, I graduated from Norwich University of the Arts with a first-class degree in Illustration.
I'm a pattern seeker and colour lover. I most enjoy helping people discover the magnificent in the mundane, and the delightful details of the everyday. My practice is playful and I communicate in multiple different ways. I'm an illustrator who uses photography, print-making, film and video, directing creative workshops, model-making and object collecting to support my clients and their various projects.
My portfolio includes design work across the public, private and charity sectors.
Projects
- We Are HereBA Illustration Degree Show at Norwich University of the Arts, 2017 As a multidisciplinary course, we value the diversity of illustration and its potential to engage a public with a variety of subject matter. We are a collective of forward-thinking individuals who wish to celebrate the potential of visual communication. We are telling untold stories. We are communicating the complex.

- The Life of a 24 Hour LaunderetteAn experimental film exploring the character within a 24 hour launderette. In this film, I focussed on how narrative can be created through object and space. I studied the repetitions and patterns within this overlooked everyday environment. I was interested in looking at the washers and driers as organisms with a consciousness - What do they see? What do they feel? What do they hear?
- My LibraryAn exploration of the potential patterns and rhythms within forms expressed through collecting existing unusual forms, as well as creating my own. I investigated materials such as cotton buds, pasta, rubber bands, plaster and clay. This archive of objects reminds me of colourful sea coral - what do they remind you of?

Studio and Event AssistantPATTERNITY

I worked with PATTERNITY as part of the production team at events and workshops, such as plant life drawing sessions and print workshops. I helped with online pattern research and cataloguing for their website and archive.
On top of this, I worked with them on a large-scale architectural installation, painting a design onto giant metal panels that were displayed at Greenwich Peninsula. Required the ability to follow detailed design plans and to work as part of a team to tight deadlines.
