About me

I am a recent graduate from Coventry University where I obtained a 1st Class BA (Hons) degree in Illustration & Graphics (2011)

-

During my time at University I developed my software skills (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesigns) and I experimented with 3D artforms. I have a deep interest in design work for the theatrical, musical and film productions. I am also interested in other corporate ventures which require unsual and idiosyncratic designs. I have developed my own personal style of humorous character illustration which draws on elements of the uncanny and surreal.

-

Whilst at University I also engaged in freelance work which involved mainly apparel design and album art for music bands. Music and illustration are my two greatest passions and I attempted a creative synthesis of them in my final major project, a design which consisted of a lyrical picture book which I intend to animate in the near future.

-

For small scale or large productions companies who require creative solutions for promotional work I aim to provide design and illustration work which is innovative and individualistic.
