I am an inventive Illustrator, Animator & Designer from Southsea, UK. I have recently Graduated from the Arts University Bournemouth with a degree in ‘BA (Hons) Illustration (Animation)’. I enjoy pushing my practice to achieve new and dynamic ways to communicate my ideas. I have taught myself how to create animated works in full 360° virtual reality. My work ranges from Hand rendered print and Illustration skills to digital animation.
I have 4 years creative experience in the festival industry providing design and prop building skills to some of the largest festivals in the UK including Glastonbury and Bestival.
Over the season, the teams I work within provide a safe and world class immersive experience to over 250,000 customers.

Work history
Assistant Set Decorator
United KingdomFreelance
During annual preparations for Bestival we organise and build an immersive experience for tens of thousands of guests. Each year working as a team we celebrate the chosen theme for that specific year making sure we meet the brief and consider the safety of all guests.
During the 10 days of building I assist in the assembly of props. Hundreds of scaffold poles are used to hold our decorations around the site, I help with putting these up. I also work on sign-writing huge signs and boards, as well as putting up lighting rigs and hand decorating giant themed tents. The scale of the project is daunting but we ensure that we look after each other on site, and as a team we always pull it off.

Education

The Illustration course at AUB is extremely diverse, throughout my studies I have practiced and explored; concept art, Editorial Illustration, Narrative Illustration and Animation. As I am not in my final year I am pursuing Animation to increase my skills in this area. I have already completed a 360° VR animation and wish to explore more technological possibilities throughout the remainder of my studies.
