Illustrator and designer, in my practice I love to push myself out of my comfort zone. In my final year, I created a 3D wooden and painted bed installation that goes alongside my lino-printed children’s book. My work primarily explores themes such as the human experience, emotions, and feelings, often working through analog methods even though I’m also always up with working with digital mediums too.

My children’s book which I have worked on this past year, follows the story of Sasha, a little girl, and her best friend, Spike, her cat. Together they decide to build a fort while reminiscing about all the good times they’ve shared and in which Spike has committed ‘’betises’’ (a French word for silliness and foolishness). This book addresses the subjects of grief and loss, showing children that even if it can be a hard path in life to go through, they can be a bit of light from it too.
