graphic design, layout and typography are
thoroughly considered and as a result highly
design informs my way of working on a daily
basis and consequently, I believe illustration
is a part of a larger spectrum within the
for me is never entirely split into its own
category, but is instead consistently pursued
in various formats and mediums.
I enjoy working collaboratively as well as
independently on projects, I believe having
a fun environment will undoubtedly evoke
distinguished ideas. I enjoy communicating
with others and completing tasks to the best
of my abilities, I am always willing to learn
from others.
I appreciate the kitsch in everyday life and
am frequently bold with colour and pattern
choices often with a steady focus on design.
My way of working is regarded to be of a
lighthearted approach with subtle humour,
often evoking an emotional connection to the
subject.
Having made initial concepts into a three
dimensional interactive spaces, I am
comfortable when working with objects such

as textiles, similarly I thrive with two
dimensional media.
