Available to hire
I’m a Digital & Visual Artist with a background in the creative industries and local government, providing administration support across various departments including housing and research finance. I’ve built a strong blend of creative, technical and organizational skills through both in-house and freelance work as a visual artist, illustrator and film production administrator.
In 2022 I launched Colour and Ash to sell prints and designs, and later added a gift store. I’ve learned a great deal about setting up a business, IP management, and creating engaging social media content (TikTok, Instagram) and blogging to grow my online presence.
