I create unique and eye-catching typographic murals, canvases and illustrations. When painting murals, I use spray paint and emulsion. For my studio pieces, I combine traditional signwriting methods, stencils and spray paint. No matter what medium I am working with, my process always starts with a sketch and mock-up design in Adobe Illustrator.

I’ve been a sole trader for about five years now. I love the freedom of being self-employed, and although it has its ups and downs, I don’t ever see myself going back now.

My studio is not too far from my house. I’ve worked there for three years now and I couldn’t live without it, but I have definitely outgrown the space. Previously, I worked in the second bedroom of my house, but when my daughter was born, I had to find somewhere else to work. I will be looking for a bigger workspace, I hope in the not-too-distant future.
