I’m a recent First Class graduate with a BA in Comic and Concept Art at UCA. You could find me with my head in a graphic novel, children’s book, or just a regular one. Stories are what I’m passionate about - no matter the medium. I take great pleasure in the intricacies of creating a story (or telling a pre-existing one). Researching topics from deep sea creatures to deep forests in North America, knowing your stuff is the building blocks to telling a great story. I also love storytelling within lyricism and sound, I enjoy writing music to inspire my illustrations.

But nobody tells you when you break up with your girlfriend to focus on your music she might do the same thing - that she’ll become the brains behind that very same band; Scar Tissue. Jake and Stevie broke up under a year ago. Can two unknowable, strong willed musicians reconcile their broken relationship for the sake of the music, and people, they love?

I was accepted to be part of Comics Youth, Mind over Margins. I wrote a pitch for a 4 page auto-biographical comic which was selected to be part of the published piece. Being my first paid comic work, I'm glad it's a piece I'm proud to have created.
I created Indie Comic Creation Society, running workshops weekly on comic creation. Presenting and creating teaching material on storytelling and panelling techniques. Running drink and draw sessions where students could come together.
Completed market research on merch trends with popular artists and venues - expanding my knowledge on commercial awareness in the music industry. Set design work to create a sticker for their new sub label DH2. Acted as a runner on shoot and observed the inner workings of promoting an artist/album release.
