- Birthday CardRecently one of my clients asked me to make a card for a female relative of theirs. I began by asking my client questions to understand what exactly they were looking for in a card. My client bullet pointed certain aspects she wanted the card to have. I sketched out designs to show to my client to see which one she approved of. When we found the perfect style, I purchased materials needed and made the card. After this small project, I began making my own designed cards for other occasions. I
- Mail Me Art''Mail Me Art is a project that has brought together an international community of artists and illustrators, amateur and professional alike, through art in the form of mail. The posted package itself is the work of art and, unlike a traditional letter or parcel, it is intended to be received and admired for it’s own sake. While a normal item of mail fulfils a practical purpose such as delivering a bill, a letter from a loved one, a notice from an employer, or a gift sent by a friend, with mail art the box or envelope becomes the centre of attention instead. Medium without a Message, was chosen as a tagline for the second MMA project to reflect this – the medium of delivery carries no message inside – and I feel that this tagline helps to identify the spirit of the project. The artwork is supposed to be fun and to a certain extent disposable, not an in-depth look into the soul of the artist. I don’t care what anyone says, the most sensational piece of artwork can be created for no reason other than to look interesting. It doesn’t need to have a meaning or a reason behind it, or even carry a message!'' (mailmeart.com)
- The Nerd NecklaceIn 2014 I started learning how to embroider and make jewellery. I posted pictures online of the embroidered pieces I made, which is how my client found me and hired me to embroider her a necklace. I started by asking my client if she had any specific ideas of what she wanted me to embroider on the necklace for her. My client then began telling me about her nickname, ''Kid Nerd'', and how she got it and that she would like the necklace based on that. She also said she wanted something simple, hipster like and geeky. From then, I drew out ideas of what I thought would suit my client and then chose a suitable background fabric to work on.

Personal ShopperTesco
Ballymena, United KingdomFull Time
Within my role as a personal shopper, I act as the face of Tesco as I am in amongst the customers whilst they are
shopping. I greet every customer with a smile and help out wherever I can.
My main duties as a personal shopper involve me selecting products that customers have ordered online, scanning
them, bagging them and placing them into a six basket trolley. If any of the chosen products are out of stock, I use
my own initiative and select a similar product to substitute it with.
I also stick to the health and safety policies to ensure there are no dangers that could harm or cause damage to
members of the public, my colleagues and I
