Overview
My work centres mostly around figures and portraiture with a big focus on colour combinations and the use of colour, I create bold illustrations that use flat sections of colour and prominent line art to create striking images with a lot of personality and attitude.I love getting my teeth into a project and working together with a client to bring the best out of a project, I am extremely flexible and love to communicate and bounce ideas with a client while working together, I am fully committed to realising your ideas and translating them within a brief. I achieved a first class honours in Illustration for commercial application from The Northern School Of Art and recently worked as a fill time illustrator for a company for over a year before returning to world of freelance.
