My creative journey began in fine art which laid the foundation for my passion for visual storytelling. With a focus on photography, styling and creative direction, I use colour, texture and composition to craft work that is not only visually striking but also emotionally resonant.
Much of my work is experimental, thought-provoking and deeply personal. It is a reflection of life, identity and the world around me. I explore fashion as a language, using it to tell layered stories that challenge, question and connect.
Through hands-on experience across concept development, styling, photography and post-production I’ve developed a versatile, detail-driven approach. I'm always pushing creative boundaries and seeking new ways to merge personal expression with innovative visual direction.
I’m excited to keep evolving, collaborating with others who value bold, meaningful and emotionally charged visual storytelling.
Isolation is the first chapter of Refuge and reflects the early feelings of not belonging. It explores the loneliness of growing up different and the quiet retreat into imagination when the outside world felt confusing or unkind. This section captures the silence of hiding parts of yourself to feel safe and marks the beginning of a journey towards self-expression and understanding.
Phantasia is a chapter from my editorial Refuge, rooted in childhood escapes into imagined worlds. While I often felt out of place, fantasy offered freedom, a space where softness was strength and difference was magic. I drew fairies, read enchanted stories, and created places where I truly belonged. This editorial reflects that inner world and the quiet peace it brought. In a world that didn’t understand me, imagination became a sanctuary.
Sanctum is the second chapter of Refuge and marks the beginning of self-expression. It draws directly from my childhood sketchbooks where I would spend hours creating fairies forests and imagined creatures. This section explores how drawing became a form of escape and comfort a way to build a world that felt safe and true. Through pencil and paper I found a quiet space where I could begin to understand myself.
