About

With a focus on the surreal and gothic my work is inspired by literature and film. I am a visual communicator and creative writer with an interest in design that is both accessible and interesting. During my final year at Northumbria University, where I studied Fashion Communication, I have written a collection of short stories and a novella. These include themes of melancholy, daydreaming, and body horror. I am currently getting into film and photography with aspirations to direct.

Make-a-shoe: Size? x new balance

The Size? X New Balance brief was all about creating a campaign that marketed the New Balance: Made in UK shoes to a Size? customer. For this live brief, I created a game titled 'Make-A-Shoe' inspired by vintage video games. I illustrated mock-up stills for the potential character designs, game intro and challenges. I came up with a storyline for the game that aligned with the brand values, and a giveaway idea for players. This project was nominated for a digital fashion award at Graduate Fashion Week 2023.
