“I am an emerging designer currently based in Cardiff, working across Wales and the UK. My work begins in textural boards and sketchbooks that lead to a collaborative, sustainably driven practice and love of vivid, visual storytelling. Developing a love of design, my interests were cemented by work experience at Sheffield theatres and CAST, Doncaster. Outside of Design, I work as a Costume Supervisor/Illustrator – my interest in Opera began whilst dressing at Welsh National Opera.
Growing up in Conisbrough, South Yorkshire - I spent quite a lot of time drawing, walking, painting and dancing. Now, I tend to spend my time walking, filling in numerous sketchbooks, volunteering for an LGBT Charity, working as an Illustrator and arts facilitator and running a D&D game for friends.”
