Welcome to my creative space, where graphic design, illustration and contemporary artwork come together.
I'm a Plymouth-based graphic designer and artist, working with individuals and small businesses to create distinctive visual work, from bespoke logos and brand identities to personalised, hand-painted artwork.
Born and raised in Plymouth, I've had a passion for creativity from an early age. My work is inspired by the subjects I enjoy most, including pets, football, music and memorable places, alongside a growing focus on contemporary baby scan artwork that transforms precious moments into unique pieces to treasure.
My art education began with a Foundation course at Plymouth College of Art before I moved to Bath, where I graduated from Bath Spa University with a BA in Graphic Design.
Alongside digital design, I enjoy exploring traditional media, particularly acrylic painting combined with ink and pen drawing. I love bringing these approaches together to create work that feels personal, distinctive and made to last.
