I come from a background of songwriting, performance and music production. While art directing new album covers, I rediscovered a passion for design, which led to studying at Cambridge School of Art.
My work began to diversify during an early research project when I discovered the work of New York's Push Pin Studio. I loved how the studio embraced multiple forms of design and illustration. Since then, I have designed branding projects (including a live brief for the Police and Crime Commissioner in Cambridgeshire) and worked on several freelance projects in print, motion graphics and album cover design.
My approach leans towards an illustrative style, with my final major project focusing fully on mixed media illustration.
Introvert or Extrovert? Exploring the inner worlds of an introvert (Molly) and an extrovert (Zia) who both perform as musicians on stage. This project explores and challenges the assumptions of what a performer is really like.
Grappling with an “on stage” industry, whether this be through content creation for social media or live music, the project explores, through personal experience, what it is like to associate with both moments of extroversion and deep introversion.
The illustrations and storytelling challenge the perception that most performers are extroverts and crave the limelight. In this thoughtful, expressive and warm pair of booklets, the characters provide honest insight into issues such as performance anxiety, touring loneliness and the delight of creativity, from the studio to the stage.
