Gothic Nightlife in the 1980s.
visual communication, graphic design, and photography.
I love exploring the world, whether
it’s camping in the outdoors, travelling
to new places, or experiencing my
favourite music live. I’m adventurous
by nature and optimistic to learn from
others and pick up fresh techniques.
My work is heavily influenced by the processes of making, and I am most comfortable working in a workshop or studio environment.
This has, in turn, led me to work in wearable design, specifically in screen printing on fabric, which has led me to develop graphic tees as an extension of my visual language.
I am also comfortable in preparing professional print-ready files using Adobe InDesign and Acrobat, which allows me to take my work from concept to production.
