Aberdeen-Based
Illustrator
Designer, Events Coordinator
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 a new venture I called ‘Fresh Slice’. A collective I led to bring the illustrators together in the Communication Design department by hosting exhibitions, markets, pop-up shops and industry networking. You can read about our inaugural exhibition at FortyTwo Studio’s Creative Hub here, as well as other events we hosted as a collective.
I left my residency in February 2025 to work as a Designer at Imajica Brand Evolution in Aberdeen, supporting the agency with social media and branding content.
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.
