Work experience

2025 - Now

Freelance brand designer and illustrator

I've been setting up my own business, providing brand and graphic design, illustration, and more. I am a multidisciplinary designer at heart, and I've worked with clients for large rebranding projects, or for small scale production work, so no job is too small or too big!

2025 - Now

Co-founder

silly little craft club (London, UK)

silly little craft club is a collective born to bring people together to keep their hands busy, try new things and build community and connection. We host monthly sustainable and accessible craft hangouts in London and our aim is not to build a hierarchical position where we are seen as instructors in a workshop; we all collectively try things out together. This year, we’ve partnered up with the Hackney Council for their pride event, bringing a DIY patch making session.
