About me

I am an illustrator with a passion for storytelling and animation. I look to address wider social issues and find solutions at a micro-level, through visual narratives and urban fantasy. Currently seeking a placement in the design and illustration industry!

  Self CarePersonal illustration on the line between compassion and self-neglect.
• Lush Life: Myatt's Fields ParkScreenprinted zine exploring the importance of local green spaces in London during and post-lockdown. The A5-size zine is a culmination of an ethnographic approach, where drawings were done in-situ to capture elements of the park. Intensive background research was also done to understand the historical and contemporary significance of Myatt's Fields Park to the community. The drawings were then edited and revised digitally to be compiled and screenprinted.
