I studied Decorative Arts at University, which trained me to think in 3 dimensions and explore materials beyond what I was familiar with. Ironic then, that I ended up turning back to 2 dimensions, to illustration, pattern and composition, when I began to develop my final year work. 

​

What you see below is a sample of what I developed post-graduation, when it was just me, my aluminium dyes and my piercing saw and pillar drill against the world. It was a fun few years of self employment, and I did love the thrill of exhibitions and craft fairs, the entire creative process, and the metal stained fingers, but it was this work that ultimately led to my love for graphic design.
