Throughout my life, I have enjoyed experimenting with and combining different media, including sewing, crochet, painting, collage, digital and many more. I continuously develop my skill set with everything I do. I have a wide range of refined skills, and reflective work enhances my critical thinking, allowing me to assess and improve my work to the highest standard I can.

I am currently studying Level 3 Graphics, Illustration and Game Arts (GIGA) at Arts University Plymouth. It has been an eye opening experience, allowing me to explore different media and context, as well as marketing skills. The work I have done at GIGA has allowed me to expand on and develop skills, including branding and marketing, and the psychology behind it, market and competitor research, professional use of the adobe suite, trend forecasting, proper research, product design and creation, administrative roles including finance management.

I've always been intrigued by the many approaches of creative expression, and am quick to try new ways of creating. I always find new inspirations and am constantly evolving as a person and an artist. It is one of my main goals in life to make the impossible possible. I want to contribute to societal and ecological growth. I am focused on what the future has in store for us, as creatives and as consumers. I am always improving my work, and thinking of ways I can affect the bigger picture. I enjoy learning from everything around me, including history, and predicting how to avoid future obstacles. I find maths in art incredibly interesting. I am passionate about patterns and rules, and how they can be bent or broken. The branding work I do improves my understanding of the psychology behind art every day.

In September, I (hopefully!) will be studying BA(hons) Fashion, Media and Marketing at Arts University Plymouth. This will allow me to refine the areas of my work I enjoy the most - branding, marketing, consumer behaviour, trend forecasting, and minimizing carbon footprint and waste within my work and business.

I aim to base my career around branding and marketing. I look forward to working with real-time shifts in industry and trends, facing challenges caused by the ever-changing world around us. I aim to refine my art direction, and experiment with job roles. My goal is to continue discovering myself as an artist, while tackling global issues - such as waste in the fashion industry.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read a little about me!
