I have dedicated most of my life to art, exploring digital tools like Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Clip Studio Paint and Procreate, while also pursuing traditional illustration, portraiture, and oil painting. I am passionate about all kinds of art and love learning new techniques, with my dream job being a Concept Artist who designs the visual foundations of projects and adds my own personal stamp to them. I value collaboration and leadership, evidenced by my role as a Student Rep at West Suffolk College and my ongoing work as a Freelance Creative Collaborator with SHOT Clubhouse, where I designed their iconic 'Sporthead' avatars. I am eager to continue growing, mentoring others, and seizing opportunities to improve creative spaces.
