About Me.

Art has been a passion of mine from a young age and I enjoy creating art that evokes emotion and encourages meaningful connections between people. I've been working in the creative sector professionally for 10 years & I'm currently doing a Masters degree to become an Art Psychotherapist. I've been lucky enough to be involved in all areas of art & design; from teaching GCSE & A-level, teaching adult art classes, managing a textile design team, doing illustration work for Louis Vuitton & Dior, and in 2018 I was given the role of North West Regional Director at the Society of British & International Design. I have specialised in Design for Dementia through Stirling University and my work within the creative sector was recognised in 2022 when I was named Creative Professional of the Year at the Manchester Young Talent Awards.

Please have a browse of my art & design portfolio and check out my blog for DIY and creative tutorials.
