About me

I graduated from Leeds College or Art with a BA (hons) in graphic design and I have spent the last year working as a freelance illustrator from home.

My skills include a strong sense of illustration based design and I am proficient in both mac and Windows operating systems as well as the Adobe Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign). In university I worked on a number of projects with clients with a very quick turn around rate.

In the last year I have had work distributed by Artoyz, who are a Paris based toy company, as well as work published with IDW Comics and Orang Utan comic books. Currently, I am a graphic designer with MightFineInc, working on their welovefine website as a banner artist and an apparel designer.

My area of design is primarily character creation and narrative design. I like to work with textures and bright colours to incorporate a feel of traditional into my, usually, digitally produced pieces.
