More About Me

I am a print designer with a First Class BA (Hons) from De Montfort University in Textile Design specialising in Print with invaluable industry experience working for a highly respected brand. As an accomplished freehand painter and illustrator, I confidently use a wide range of media with a particular love for gouache and watercolour. My unique and diverse handwriting enables me to create traditional hand painted, innovative and contemporary designs showing a flair for design and a strong eye for colour. I can easily adapt my style to different briefs and technical requirements whilst always applying a high level of accuracy and attention to detail. With a love for nature, I always have my camera to hand so that I don't miss an inspirational opportunity. I enjoy the challenge of learning new skills especially when I can reflect it in my print designs
