About me
Hi! Welcome to my profile. Take a look around and make yourself comfortable :-) I am a creative based in London who loves to draw. Have you ever seen a cartoon called Penny Crayon? Penny was a mischievous girl who carried her magic crayons with her everywhere so she could bring her drawings to life – cool, right? Well, she was my idol growing up and inspired and helped shape my younger self. My style and skills have matured a lot since then, but I still have that childlike passion for creativity and belief in the unlimited potential of good art and design. My background is predominantly in the fashion industry. I studied womenswear fashion design at DeMontford University and then moved to London to study a Masters in menswear design at the London College of Fashion. I found shape design wonderful but missed hand painting and drawing artworks, so I took the leap into print and graphic design and there found the perfect match for my skills and interests. My handwriting can adapt to fit a brand's aesthetic while still staying true to my own unique style. With my personal artwork I enjoy pushing the boundaries (possibly raising some eyebrows) through surrealist narratives and humour and I also have a slight obsession with detail! Overall, I thoroughly enjoy both creative practices, from creating a beautiful floral print to a thought-provoking illustration. I love a challenge and working with new people, respect and adhere to good communication, and understand the importance of clear planning and organisation. If you would like to get to know me better or discuss how we might work together then please get in touch. Thank you for taking the time to view my profile. Sam
