I graduated from UWE Bristol in June 2007 with a 2:1 in BA Illustration. Since then I have been working as a Graphic Designer in the education sector, I have also worked free lance for companies like the BBC and The Engine Room as well as for private clients.

My work forms around a strong foundation in drawing and the understanding of shape, form and character. Throughout my time at University I developed my drawing and painting techniques and experimented with different medias and incorporated the use of programmes like Photoshop into my work. My style has developed into a mix of hand drawn, and computer generated collage which gives it an idiosyncratic, organic feel. These elements, coupled with an emphasis on the play of light and shadow, come together to define my own individual style
