// My multidisciplinary practise is unified by a strong conceptual focus, and consistent attention to detail. However, my process usually begins with playful, messy, sketchbook pages, like the ones pictured below.

// During my time at the Liverpool School of Art & Design, I utilised my interest in research by supporting staff at LJMU’s Teaching and Learning Academy, in investigating the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on staff and student wellbeing. I also collaborated with other students on an end of year publication for the graphic design & Illustration course. Upon graduating in 2022, I received a first-class degree with honours, as well as the Directors Award for Excellence, given to the top graduating student from each pathway at the School of Art.
