Before design came art – mainly surrealism and portraiture – which has aided in the design I produce today. During my younger education and foundation course I have improved both my artistic skill set with pen, pencil and paintbrush, as well as digitally. and commercially.

I love the idea of an unsolvable problem, usually because once solved, you have produced something truly unique - something that has never been achieved before. My goal throughout my life will be to find and to solve many of these little gems before I throw in the towel.

As well as the above, creativity cannot exist without well written words, and word play – whether it's a poem, a pun or just plain old punctuation – is a crucial part of me and my style. Sometimes I find it's the difference between knowing your shit, and knowing you're shit.

Advertising is my ideal career path, but I want my work to reach the minds of the blissfully unaware. With protest as a main focal point of my current design, I hope to help raise awareness and bring about a change in the way we view this rock in which we all occupy.

Stop motion animation and also moving image pieces are painstakingly time consuming processes, but the eventual end result can create a greater impact than a print. Stories can be told easier, and messages can be conveyed clearer. I have made a few so far with more in the making.
