Observational drawing acts as the heart of my creative practice, and throughout my illustration degree I’ve developed a strong appetite for using traditional media to draw as an immediate response to an environment. I always try to push new ways of image making within my discipline, and my main goal is to be open minded to new materials and techniques.

Alongside my creative skill set, I’ve acquired new knowledge from working with a professional business during my final year at university, which has taught me the importance of clear communication, organisation and collaboration.

I would like to channel my illustrative style to sit within the editorial and publishing sectors of the industry, and, with my newfound animation skills in mind, I would like to bring a fresh and enlightening approach to storytelling within those areas.
