My first passion is and always has been for storytelling. I was raised to believe that books and art were among life's most precious offerings, and have engaged with storytelling on multiple levels including as a writer, a student of literature and now as a visual artist and designer. I have long believed that words and images are two sides of one method of communication and that, together, they can convey otherwise elusive subtlety, beauty and emotional truth in the stories they tell.
My background includes a BA in English Literature and Creative Writing from the University of Brighton and an MA in Publishing and Creative Writing from Kingston University, London. I have also studied at the Visual College of Art and Design, worked as a cover designer for Ace of Swords Publishing and have had my digital art published in Kiwi Collective Magazine.
If you're publishing a book, releasing music or throwing an event, then you need art to represent your work.
I believe good design should reflect the work it is representing and great design will enhance it. With anything I design, I try to capture the essence of the work it's representing and prioritise the emotional and thematic aspects of the piece in order to create something meaningful and unique that will make your work standout and have the ability to stand as a piece of art of its own volition.
My primary goal with any project is to collaborate with you in order to get as close to your ultimate vision as possible. In consultation, we will talk through your ideas, extract key themes and explore visual ways of communicating those themes.
So, no matter what your idea is, I would love to hear about it! Put it forward, let's discuss it, and let's find out what's possible together!
