Aberdeen-Based

Illustrator

and Designer

Creating images that celebrate the beauty of the every day. I use my bold digital style to make work that beams a familiar, playful and positive attitude.

I graduated from Gray’s School of Art in 2024 with a BA (Hons) Communication Design - specialising in illustration. Following my graduation, I found myself back in Gray’s as Graduate In Residence for the 24/25 session. This opportunity came alongside leading and organising a collective called ‘Fresh Slice’. I brought the illustrators together from the Communication Design department by hosting exhibitions, markets, pop-up shops, and industry networking events. The collective has now reformed under the name ‘Zest Mag’ and has transformed into an online community on Instagram and Substack.

I left my residency in February 2025 to work as a Designer at Imajica Brand Evolution in Aberdeen, supporting the agency with web design, branding, print and digital design.

My work has also been selected for printing in the independent BitsMagazine (@bitsmagazine) in April 2024 after submitting for an open call to feature in their ‘Happiness’ issue.
