I studied Illustration and at Manchester Polytechnic and have a BA (Hons) degree in Illustration and Design for Media. My past professional experience include working as a junior art director in advertising, other roles were based around creating visuals for architects and interior space designers from food courts to high end interiors. The purpose of pretty all my commercial work has at it's core the need to excite peoples imaginations. I have for many years had success producing personalised cards for special occasions.
