About me

I have worked as a freelancer in various Art Department positions in the Film and Television Industry for the past seven years. In between freelance media contracts I have also worked as an FE lecturer in Art and Design and Media Production.

I am now looking towards a move away from media production work and feel I have a portfolio of diverse skills which are transferable to many other industries.

I am creative, hardworking and a good communicator. I enjoy setting my mind to new challenges and I have a passion for many disciplines within Art and Design, which I feel is reflected in my portfolio which can be viewed at:

I have always had a passion for designing / making, selling my handmade gifts through my Etsy Shop and at Craft Fairs.

I freelance as an Illustrator for Childrens Books in my spare time also.
