About

I take inspiration from nature and everyday objects and I like to create bright and fun illustrations. While most of my work is completed digitally I like to use traditional mediums for shorter projects and development work. I love making objects and I often try to incorporate different forms of making into my work. I enjoy the opportunity to work on brief-based projects but when not working on a brief I like to draw animals doing the 1000 yard stare. I’m looking forward to continuing to develop my practice and get more involved in the Dundee creative community.

D&AD Giffgaff

Illustrated reward stickers layered on top of each other on a black background. Bold White text above stickers reads "we use our business' power for good". Regular white text below reads "That's why we're a B corp". White Giffgaff logo at the bottom of image

For this project I used reward stickers to show the qualities Giffgaff has that show their commitment to being a B Corp.

V&A X DJCAD

4 A5 relief prints arranged with 2 on top and 2 on bottom of image. Each print is of a glass vase with a blend in colour. Top left print is a large open top vase with a brown to yellow gradient. Top right is a small round vase with a lip edge that is a brown to green gradient. Bottom left is a small vase that flares at the bottom with a tall edge in a brown to blue gradient. Bottom right is a large diamond shaped vase with a straight edge and a blue to orange gradient

These relief prints are inspired by glass vases found in the V&A Dundee's Scottish Design Gallery.
