About me
I'm an enthusiastic creative freelancer with a passion for storytelling. Since graduating with a first from Kingston School of Art in 2021, I've been on an exciting journey, honing my skills in various creative fields. I've had the pleasure of working on some fantastic projects, including promotional illustrations for 'Rehab The Musical' in 2022, which was my first taste of larger-scale work. My freelance work has also led me to gain valuable experience in production, art direction, and assistance with SOW Worldwide. Recently, I became a proud company member of the National Youth Theatre, where I'm able to continue to develop my experience in acting, alongside my work creating illustrations on a commissioned basis. Whether it's through drawing, acting, or collaborating on new projects, my practice centres around bringing stories to life in the most vibrant and engaging ways possible.

    'WILL' Graduate Graphic NovelFor my final term at Kingston School of Art I wrote, illustrated and self published my first graphic novel 'WILL', which focusses on issues of mental health and substance abuse when attempting to navigate the adult world. All pages were illustrated on Procreate and then formatted on InDesign; the artistic process took just under three months as I was illustrating up to five pages a day. 'WILL' is now for sale on my Etsy and free to read on WEBTOON.
