My illustrations use bright, striking colours that immediately capture the viewers’ attention and draw them into the subtleties of the image. At times, my work can be abstract and subtly alludes to a secondary meaning or narrative through my consistent use of shape. As my portfolio is predominantly made up of singular images, my illustrations work well as book covers, campaign posters, editorial images as well as packaging. I love to incorporate hand-drawn typography into my work and use text as a physical space for a narrative to exist within. Through my use of both analogue and digital methodology,

I can create stimulating and powerful images while also keeping to a strict deadline. My portfolio is a reflection of my personal interests which include gender equality, staying fit and active, environmentalism and mental health.
