About
Fashion Design and Marketing student at Northumbria University, graduating in 2026. My work is shaped by a love of travel, with places, landscapes, and stories influencing my approach to sustainable fashion, surface embellishment, and textile innovation. I enjoy exploring materials and techniques in a hands-on, thoughtful way, creating pieces that feel both expressive and responsible.
My illustration practice is rooted in storytelling, observation and a love of capturing memories. Working primarily with watercolour, pen and ink, I create hand-rendered artwork inspired by nature, travel, folklore and everyday moments. I enjoy developing ideas from sketchbook exploration through to final illustrations, surface patterns and publications, often combining traditional and digital techniques. Across my work, I am particularly interested in creating visual worlds that feel nostalgic, playful and full of character. Whether designing for print, publishing or textiles, I aim to create artwork that invites curiosity, connection and a sense of storytelling.
