My background is in creative arts and design in the public sector. I worked in London for several years in marketing and communication roles at University of the Arts, London before joining Teesside University in 2015.

As a content creator, I aim to use simple yet compelling visuals to tell a story, a message, or evoke an emotion. I am interested in the idea of using artists I love as an inspiration, those who use simple yet compelling content, Mark Rothko, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Mickalene Thomas.
My aspirations from this course are to develop a way of using the kind of visuals I am drawn to as an individual in a more professional and commercial context.
