I am a multi-disciplinary graphic designer with a niche in print and editorial design, and a passion for illustration in varying media. Typesetting, colour, and tactility is pivotal in my visual design work, and is established through curating a tone of voice and identity that resonates with the desired audience. I embrace varying bookbinding and printing techniques to elevate designs and encourage audiences to engage with physical objects.

My occupational background lies within the fine art and culture sector, working in galleries and with artists both prior and during my degree. My creative work reflects this connection, often times collecting my inspiration from the arts. I have prior publishing experience interning at a children’s book publishers, as well as having two commissioned books published for Norwich University of the Arts this year; both valuable experiences for seeing publications all the way through from the initial concept to holding the physical object.
