My main interest is in interactive media. My illustrations are whimsical with an underlying serious message.

My goal is to be an independent authorial illustrator. I plan on doing an MA in Authorial Illustration to develop my writing in relation to my illustrations. I am skilled in drawing and numerous graphics applications including Maya, Adobe XD, Illustrator, InDesign, Adobe Premiere Based, Photoshop and Blendr.

My main strengths are my ability to focus and see a job through to the end regardless of how long it takes to achieve the result I envisage. I enjoy world creation and building a narrative around the illustrations.

Work Experience

The first internship I undertook was for Paisley Library.
I produced several video tutorials for Paisley Library on Animation and Pixel Art.

The second internship was at The Scottish Crannog Centre, where I worked as a graphic designer. For the Crannog Centre, I produced worksheets for school groups. You can see the worksheets here -
