BA (Hons) Graphic Design graduate from Colchester School of Art. My interests include writing, drawing and illustration. I love books and beautiful layout and typography.
Aside from design and illustration, I am passionate about animals and maps. My growing appreciation for the English language has persuaded me to consider a career path in copywriting or publishing while I continue to experiment with illustrative styles.
Attended a short illustration course organised through the Guardian in Summer 2012, held at 71A Leonard Street. Included talks by Noma Bar, Adrian Johnson, Paul Willoughby, David Downton, Yulia Brodskaya, Paul Davis, Kai & Sunny and Malika Favre.
Illustrators' Guild, Colchester
Attended Illustrators' Guild in Colchester. Includes regular meet-ups with local illustrators and sharing experiences and styles while drawing around particular themes and/or completing own work.

Curator of Colchester School of Art end of year show for BA (Hons) Graphic Design years 1 & 2, June 2012. I helped two other curators with tasks such as compiling guest lists, shopping lists and cleaning & setting up the exhibition space.
