Hello!

Thank you for taking a look at my portfolio, I’m a designer, illustrator and maker based in South Gloucestershire.

I have experience in a wide array of design fields having designed and created both 3D pieces and 2D graphics for brands, film, television, books, magazines, adverts and more and am approaching eight years of post-degree experience.

I’m currently working at Aardman Animations and my five years in the film and TV industry in particular mean I have unique experience in busy, collaborative design and fabrication studios and am accustomed to sketching designs, creating graphics both traditionally and digitally, making mock-up pieces and prototypes, determining which materials and processes best suit the needs of a project and sourcing fabrics and other materials.

I have a vast knowledge of craft and fabrication techniques alongside my illustration and design abilities and I can confidently say I can turn my hand to any creative challenge and produce work to the highest possible standards and always do so with enthusiasm, adaptability and a positive attitude!

I am now working to shift my career away from film and television and into in-house design where I can utilise my unique skill set alongside my passion for interiors, illustration and accessory design more effectively and hope to create beautiful pieces that will be a part of people’s lives, rather than primarily being seen on screen or in photographs.

More about my background:

I completed a BA in Illustration at Falmouth University, focusing on applying traditional techniques and paper craft to modern applications. I developed a three-dimensional, theatre-inspired illustration style, creating paper models with the essence of traditional children’s illustrations brought to life.

After working as a freelance illustrator and designer for a few years I undertook a masters degree in animation focusing on craft and fabrication and evolved my techniques and abilities, learning to use a multitude of different materials and processes, and began working in film and TV designing and making props and sets. I’ve worked in the film and TV industry for five years, the past three at Aardman Animations alongside still undertaking some freelance illustration and design work.
