BIO

I graduated from Central St Martins in 2002. I specialise in Apparel Graphic Design and Illustration and have been involved in two major collaborations with Puma and Lot78. In my last full-time role I was a Senior Graphic Designer for womenswear at DKNY Jeans based in Singapore where I lived as an expat. I came back to London 2 years ago and I am now a Creative Director at my own consultancy and Art Director at Endrime. I would describe myself as having an entrepreneurial spirit. I enjoy creating opportunities for myself and others and I love collaborating with people. I enjoy learning new skills that enable me to expand on my profession.

During the last couple of years I have been concentrating on self-development and honing my skills as an illustrator. I also hand paint bespoke illustrations directly onto leather jackets.

Art for Philanthropy is a new initiative that I am creating. Through a collaborative art exhibition, the first show is designed to highlight the importance of taking care of undervalued human beings around the world.

Selection of press where my work has been featured:

Highsnobiety.com, Sunday Times Style Magazine, US Weekly Magazine, Look Magazine, Whitney Port in Grazia Magazine, Lauren Conrad on E! Online, Cher Lloyd on The X-Factor, Cheryl Cole on Twitter all wearing products with my designs.

I have been featured by name in articles in Vogue Magazine, Mens Reverie, Highsnobiety.com and interviewed for the Guardian Newspaper.
